Summary

  • Talented fan creates a concept cover for potential Star Wars Battlefront 3.
  • The series' history is marked by failed third installments, but demand for a new game persists.
  • Fan art cover sparks discussion on potential new eras for Star Wars Battlefront 3.

A talented fan online has created a jaw-dropping concept cover art for a potential Star Wars Battlefront 3, depicting some of the most popular characters from the franchise. 2017 title Star Wars Battlefront 2 remains the most recent game in the series, but the demand remains for DICE to go back and revisit a galaxy far, far away.

The Star Wars Battlefront series has had a turbulent history, despite its popularity at every turn. Both Pandemic Studios and DICE made two games during their development runs, although neither made it to a third installment. Both Pandemic and Free Radical had versions of Star Wars Battlefront 3 in development during the mid-to-late 2000s, although neither was eventually released for various reasons.

Why the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Deserves Its Own Battlefront Game

The Star Wars sequel trilogy may be divisive, but a new Battlefront game focused on the era could go a long way in making the period feel more robust.

One talented Redditor under the username _Tilian_ has shared their own Star Wars Battlefront 3 concept cover, imagining what it could look like if DICE decides to make the game. The cover features popular Star Wars characters from different eras. Ahsoka Tano is there from the Clone Wars, while the Mandalorian is front and center. A duel between Anakin and Darth Vader is shown on Mustafar, while Revan is there to give the concept cover an Old Republic touch.

Fan Artwork Shows What Star Wars Battlefront 3's Cover Could Look Like

Most were extremely impressed with the cover, with Revan in particular sparking a discussion about potential eras that Star Wars Battlefront 3 could utilize if it came to fruition. So far, Star Wars Battlefront games have been limited to the three eras seen across the nine mainline movies, so it would be interesting to see the series take that leap in the future. If there's any reason why Star Wars Battlefront 3 needs to exist, it's to explore this untapped potential.

Fans are still clamoring for any potential news about Star Wars Battlefront 3 from DICE. Eight years after the last game in the series was released, fans have been hopping into Star Wars Battlefront 2 in record numbers of late, in an attempt to send a message to DICE and EA that the demand remains. Only time will tell if the message will prove to be effective.
