Andor Actor Boosts Calls for Battlefront 3
The popularity of Star Wars Battlefront 2 has seen a remarkable resurgence, reaching its highest player count on Steam in years. This renewed interest, fueled in part by the success of the Disney+ series Andor, has sparked a wave of calls for a new installment in the series: Battlefront 3.
A Fan's Plea
Adding to the excitement, Muhannad Ben Amor, the actor who portrays Wilmon Paak in Andor, has publicly voiced his support for a new Battlefront game. With an impressive 469 hours logged in Battlefront 2, Amor’s enthusiasm is undeniable, further igniting the desire among fans for a sequel.
The Resurgence of Battlefront 2
The game's recent surge in popularity is not just anecdotal. After years of relatively low player counts, Battlefront 2 has seen a dramatic increase, nearing its all-time concurrent peak on Steam. This significant rise suggests a strong demand for more Star Wars shooter action.
The Future of Battlefront
While developer DICE is currently focused on their next Battlefield title, the possibility of a Battlefront 3 remains intriguing. The overwhelmingly positive shift in sentiment towards Battlefront 2, following the initial controversy surrounding its monetization system, creates an opportunity for EA to revisit the franchise.
With a dedicated fanbase and a proven gameplay formula, the stars might just be aligning for Star Wars Battlefront 3 to become a reality.
