Star Wars Battlefront 3 has a fresh rumor behind it, and Bungie is part of the conversation. According to a report attributed to gaming insider Jeff Grubb, Disney is speaking with Bungie and EA’s DICE as it looks for a development partner for a potential sequel.
Fans who are waiting for the return of large-scale Star Wars battles, that’s an exciting possibility. However, the reported discussions remain unconfirmed, and there’s no announced development deal.
In brief:
- Jeff Grubb reportedly says Disney is exploring potential Battlefront 3 partners.
- Bungie and EA’s DICE are the studios named in the report.
- A developer, release date, and platforms have yet to be officially announced.
Disney Reportedly Exploring Star Wars Battlefront 3 Partners
The claim circulated alongside a YouTube discussion linked by fans sharing Grubb’s report. Those summaries specifically name Bungie and DICE as potential partners for Disney’s search.
The scope of those conversations is still unclear. There’s no verified information establishing how advanced the talks are, whether either studio has submitted a proposal, or whether Disney has selected a team. Fans should treat this as a report about a possible project while waiting for an official announcement.
Bungie Would Bring a Different Background to Battlefront
Bungie’s involvement is the most surprising part of the claim. The studio built its name through Halo and Destiny, with a long history of first-person combat and multiplayer shooters. As such, that experience makes the idea of a Bungie-developed Star Wars shooter easy to get excited about.
DICE has direct experience with Battlefront. Its work on Battlefront II combined infantry combat, playable heroes, vehicles, and battles across familiar Star Wars locations. A return would give the studio an opportunity to build on that approach.
Neither studio’s involvement would establish what a sequel’s gameplay, modes, or business model might look like.
Battlefront II’s Final Major Content Update Arrived in 2020
EA announced the end of regular Battlefront II content updates around the release of The Battle on Scarif in April 2020. By then, the team had delivered 25 free content updates covering all three cinematic eras. Servers, recurring events, and game support continued beyond that transition.
Understandably, that history gives a potential sequel plenty to build on. As of writing, the next meaningful development would be confirmation that Disney has secured a partner and committed to another Battlefront game.
