Star Wars: Battlefront 3 isn’t happening as EA silos Star Wars at Respawn

Lucasfilm’s Star Wars deal with Electronic Arts isn’t what it once was, but it is not totally fizzling out. Battlefield developer DICE will not make a new Star Wars: Battlefront game — according to people familiar with the announcement — but Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order sequel will come out of the current situation a survivor. In fact, EA is moving all Star Wars games over to the Apex Legends studio.

EA announced today that Respawn is working on three Star Wars games. This includes the Jedi: Fallen Order sequel and a new Star Wars first-person shooter from the Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond team. Respawn is also partnering with Bit Reactor on a turn-based tactics game set in the galaxy far, far away. Vince Zampella, group GM and founder of Respawn, will oversee all of these new Star Wars projects.
