Star Wars Battlefront 3 Hype Surges as Battlefront II Makes Massive Comeback
Okay, let’s talk about something that has really caught the attention of Star Wars and gaming fans alike — the incredible, unexpected revival of Star Wars Battlefront II and what it might mean for the long-hoped-for Star Wars Battlefront 3 .
It’s wild to think that an eight-year-old game is currently making headlines, but here we are in 2025, and Battlefront II is suddenly alive again — and not just in a niche way. We’re talking thousands of players logging in daily, especially on PC via Steam. The player count has seen a dramatic spike — we’re talking over 7,800 concurrent players, which is a number the game hasn’t reached since 2021. That’s a 600% increase from just a month ago. Let that sink in.

The reason for this resurgence? Well, it looks like a combination of things. First, Fortnite’s Galactic Battle season dropped on May 2nd, filled with Star Wars content that got people in the mood for lightsabers, TIE Fighters, and X-Wings. But while Fortnite gave us a Star Wars-flavored experience, fans craving a more authentic , immersive galactic war experience started jumping back into Battlefront II — and stayed.
On top of that, EA and DICE released a surprise update bringing back the Scarif map, which many players loved from the 2015 Battlefront. Combine that with a generous 60% off sale and a nostalgia wave hitting right around May the 4th — the perfect storm brewed, and the game exploded back to life.
People are finding full lobbies in seconds — even in regions where that was unheard of. Social media is buzzing again, with players sharing epic moments, praising how great the game looks, and reminiscing about its journey. Remember, this is the same Battlefront II that was once nearly ruined by loot box controversies and grind-heavy progression systems. But EA eventually fixed most of that, and it’s genuinely turned into a solid Star Wars shooter.
And now comes the big question — does this all mean Battlefront 3 could finally happen?
There’s no official confirmation, but fan demand is louder than ever. The timing feels right. DICE has wrapped up or is wrapping up other projects like Battlefield 6 , and many believe now is the best moment to reignite the series. The original Battlefront III was infamously canceled when it was apparently near completion — something that still stings. So maybe, just maybe, EA and Disney could make it right this time.
Until then, Battlefront II is having its renaissance, and it’s been beautiful to witness. Whether you’re a veteran or someone who missed the game at launch, now might be the perfect time to jump in. The Force is definitely strong with this one again.
