Star Wars Battlefront 3: DICE and Respawn Team Up [Confirmed]

Electronic Arts has officially confirmed that award-winning shooter studios DICE and Respawn Entertainment are actively collaborating on a brand-new unannounced shooter project, directly amplifying intense industry reports regarding the development of Star Wars Battlefront 3 for modern platforms. According to verified reports from IGN Articles, EA outlined its future shooter portfolio in an executive communication, confirming that DICE and Respawn will join forces outside of their standalone franchises. While EA stopped short of explicitly branding the title Star Wars: Battlefront 3, industry reporting from Variety corroborated that pre-production talks for the sequel had gained significant internal traction. The move comes as EA realigns development resources following recent executive shifts, contrasting with past cancellations like the [Mass Effect 5 Canceled: BioWare Shuts Down [Update 2026]](/news/bioware-studio-closure-mass-effect-canceled) fallout. DICE, best known for the Battlefield franchise, brings world-class destruction tech via the Frostbite engine, while Respawn delivers industry-leading gunplay feel and hero shooter mechanics honed in Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi. With early rumors also suggesting Bungie veterans are consulting on live-service infrastructure, the combined powerhouse studio partnership represents EA's highest-budget shooter investment to date, targeting next-generation competitive standards and massive tactical multiplayer deployments.
