Star Wars Battlefront 2 has been breaking player records because the fanbase really wants EA to finally step up and make a Battlefront 3, with one of the stars of Andor and a former developer also speaking up for another game. But alongside the cancellation of EA’s Black Panther game with the publisher’s third round of layoffs in 2025 alone, it’s starting to look like the dream is dead.
In the IGN report, an internal email from EA Entertainment president Laura Miele notes that “the company is focusing on a small handful of franchises going forward: Battlefield, The Sims, Skate, and Apex Legends,” with work on Motive’s Iron Man game, Respawn’s third Star Wars: Jedi game, and the next Mass Effect continuing. With the lack of Star Wars on there outside of finishing the Jedi trilogy, fans are taking this as confirmation that EA is done with the franchise.
