One of the titles is Jedi Fallen 2, and it will be revealed at Star Wars Celebration in May 2022 and with another trailer at E3 2022 or an EA summer showcase.
Massive L RE: Battlefront 3
Both titles were a total blast after a year of updates… a 3rd game that got it right at launch would have been amazing.
Cool about more SP though I guess, game for whatever after Fallen Order

That sounds like a polite way of saying Lucasfilm/Disney was not receptive and may have give them an unreasonable rate. Given the recent branching out of Star wars games away from EA exclusivity, I don't think it was a matter of costs alone. a business decision was made by Disney.
Can't wait for the 2030 reboot titled simply "Battlefront" and then the 2033 sequel "Battlefront 2" which won't be confusing at all.
EA should have kept BF2 going. It became a really fun game by the end. Still pissed that they killed it before the devs got to add Ahsoka.
I am surprised Disney is so loose with the Star Wars franchise. Maybe what they mean by 2 projects in development at EA is they are still in proof of concept.
From what I remember, there was an article published stating many Star Wars projects are in development. If I had to guess, Disney is casting a wide net here.

Big sad :( Despite content issues at launch I really loved Battlefront 1, and grew to love battlefront 2 after updates. Was excited to have BF3 be a great game from launch
Word on the street is that the sequel to Fallen Order ain't coming in 2022, but 2023. Can't remember who said, but it might have been Grubb.
Unless Chapek is veering hard from Iger's policy, big doubt. Iger wanted nothing to do with in-house development and wanted to purely license. Chapek is an even bigger penny pincher so I doubt he reverses course.
I didn't think 2 was very good, so no love lost. Give me that scrapped version that had battles leading into space or whatever it was
I imagine they don't currently see the need for a new Battlefront since outside licensing costs, there isn't much more they could add with what has been incorporated into BF2.
BF3 feels like something you'd save for when the new movie comes out so you can draw from that.

Battlefront 3 would've been a banger with the stuff that was learned from 2 and how 2 ended up being great by the end, seeing 3 start off like that would've been awesome
Who knows if it would've actually kept on the same path or not, but I wanted to see what came of it

That's a shame. I didn't play the first Battlefront from Dice, but I loved 2 and thought it was up there with the original games.
I love Battlefront and I would've been pretty excited if a third game was happening, but it feels like Star Wars is in a weird spot with some of its popularity waning a bit from movies. So I can understand EA not wanting to greenlight it right now. Not to mention DICE seems to be struggling between Battlefront 2, BFV, and 2042. It's probably for the best. Maybe try again when the next SW movies are on the way. Plus the prospect of more single player SW games is more exciting anyways.
Bummer but makes sense. Why put Dice to work on a Battlefront game when Battlefield sells more, they have complete creative freedom, and they don't have to pay licensing?
Does have me curious if the Battlefront license/IP is up for grabs in general then. Would be comic if another publisher picked it up; give it to Massive at Ubisoft, or The Coalition.

Yes, we do. It has some jank here and there, some weapons and classes badly need balancing, and the multiplayer is littered with hackers nowadays.
If they're not gonna give it a last hurrah with a big patch, Battlefront 3 is needed.
What I find most incredible about this is how opposed to SP games EA was back then and now they have like 3 of them on the pipeline and chose to pass on a MP only title!
Sad to hear it. Battlefront II wound up being a really good shooter, lots of fun to play. I would've loved to see what they could have done with a third game that took what they learned from the first two games and refined it.
Is paying the license for Battlefront 3 more expensive than 2 more single player games? Or I guess EA are waiting to see how the games do before deciding if they want to do more games.
It kills me that Visceral was axed and we missed out on Ragtag (which sounded great) because of their BS single player is dead stance only to reverse course 2 years later.
It was probably inevitable.
Publishers were like, "Holy SHIT, live service online games are *where it's at* for printing insane amounts of money..."
::major publishers all pivot to making GaaS online games
"Oh wait... people can only play like one of these at a time, and the rest of them all bomb"
Then that combined with outcry of people asking for more SP games and decrying the absolute deluge of GaaS stuff.
Really no need for a BF3, but I wish we had a couple of more updates to BF2.
Is BF2 still very active? Like would I have any trouble finding players for all the modes?

Y'all are seeing the Lemons here, instead of the good that comes from this news:
This is one less excuse for 2143 to not be made - It can't be cannibalizing Battlefront's "Sci Fi Battlefield" slot if Battlefront isn't a thing anymore.
...Though unfortunately the current state of DICE and/or the "Gamechangers" at EA Design-By-Committee'ing their output leaves it up in the air of if a 2143 would be any good.

One of the two Single Player games is most likely Fallen Order 2, which started development just after Fallen Order 1 shipped 2 years ago, and the other could've been greenlit at any point as well, so costs might've changed and/or EA changed their minds on how much is worth to pay for the license.
