EA's recent restructuring, which includes layoffs and the closure of BioWare, has brought attention to a new project involving Respawn Entertainment and DICE. According to Variety, citing multiple sources, the collaboration is focused on a sequel to the Star Wars Battlefront series. EA did not confirm the project's specifics, but its restructuring memo indicates that titles developed by the studios will support the company's goal of expanding its shooter portfolio. The memo also references lessons from Battlefield 6's launch and live service as part of this strategy, alongside plans to expand Apex Legends with new gameplay modes and experiences. The timing aligns with earlier reports that Lucasfilm Games was seeking a development partner for a new Battlefront title, with DICE and Sony-owned studio Bungie mentioned as potential candidates. DICE previously developed two Star Wars Battlefront games for EA, released in 2015 and 2017. Battlefront 2 faced criticism over loot boxes but maintained strong player engagement, including a resurgence in activity last year that fueled speculation about a potential third installment. Beyond shooters, the Star Wars franchise has seen recent success with titles like Star Wars Zero Company, a strategy game co-developed by Respawn, and Star Wars: Galactic Racer, a racing title that has received critical acclaim.
