Star Wars Battlefront 2 Player Surge Sparks Sequel Hopes

Star Wars Battlefront II, released in 2017, is experiencing an unexpected surge in popularity. The game has seen a remarkable 218 percent increase in players on Steam, reigniting interest in the beloved franchise.

A Call for Battlefront III

This renewed interest hasn't gone unnoticed. A Change.org petition, addressed to Disney and EA Games, is urging the development of Battlefront III. The petition highlights the enduring popularity of the Battlefront series and fans' desire for a new installment.

While no single reason explains this resurgence, the current positive sentiment surrounding the Star Wars franchise likely plays a significant role. The game's inclusion in a recent Fortnite season and the critical acclaim for the Disney+ series Andor have likely contributed to the renewed interest.

Battlefront II remains a strong contender in the FPS genre. Its enduring appeal stems from its diverse gameplay, offering both infantry combat and iconic vehicle battles. Players can choose from a wide array of characters, including classic heroes like Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, as well as newer additions like Rey and Kylo Ren.

Whether this renewed interest will translate into EA's greenlight for Battlefront III remains to be seen. However, the passion of the fanbase is undeniable, making a sequel a tantalizing possibility.
