News on the Star Wars Battle-front hasn't been so rosy over the last couple of weeks. First, DICE announced that they'd be ceasing updates for the game with the release of the Scarif update - some have speculated involuntarily - and now it's transpired that Battlefront 3 (if it even comes at all), may not arrive until 2025 at the earliest, with EA's Star Wars deal up for renewal in 2023.

Be that as it may, attention has already shifted to the possible third entry in EA's rebooted Battlefront series. DICE were able to mount one of the all time greatest gaming comebacks with Battlefront 2, fostering a dedicated community that is now tangibly upset at the prospect of waiting however many years until the third game releases.

There will be other Star Wars offerings to come within that time - the rumoured Project Maverick flight sim from EA Motive, as well as a sequel to last year's Jedi: Fallen Order from Respawn - but the lost potential of Battlefront 2 will weigh on fans' minds.

There was still so much yet to come, but look on the bright side; if DICE DO get the chance to make a third Battlefront, they'll have the full power of next-gen systems behind them, as well as a long list of lessons learned and fan demands that should inform what could hopefully be an all time Star Wars great. Here are but a few suggestions to make it a reality...

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
