EA has confirmed that its studios DICE and Respawn are collaborating on an as-yet-unannounced project. Reports suggest the title could be Star Wars: Battlefront 3, but EA has not officially confirmed this name.
In outlining the company's future direction, EA linked this collaboration to its goals for the shooter genre. In addition to future Battlefield titles, DICE and Respawn will jointly advance this project, with more details to be revealed at the appropriate time. The official announcement did not disclose the game's format, development stage, release window, or target platforms.
This collaboration aligns with recent rumors surrounding Star Wars: Battlefront 3. IGN believes EA's statement lends credence to these claims, and sources cited by Variety have mentioned that DICE and Respawn are working on a new Star Wars: Battlefront project. However, none of this information has been officially confirmed by EA.
DICE previously handled the earlier Star Wars: Battlefront shooters, while Respawn developed the Star Wars Jedi series and worked on a later-cancelled Star Wars shooter project. Furthermore, rumors that Bungie might be involved in Star Wars: Battlefront 3 or other Star Wars projects remain unconfirmed. The only certainty so far is that DICE and Respawn have begun their collaboration, with the project's official name yet to be announced.
