The short version

A report says Star Wars: Battlefront 3 is in active development at EA DICE and Respawn, but detailed plans have not been made public in the supplied sources ².
The modern Battlefront series includes the 2015 game and 2017's Battlefront II, which has both a single-player campaign and multiplayer modes ²⁵.
Battlefront II ranked 15th among PS4-charted downloads in the United States and Canada in September, a chart category that also includes downloads on PS5 consoles ³.
A new free PC mod adds online co-op and versus play to Galactic Conquest in the original 2005 Battlefront II; it is not an official update to the 2017 game ¹.

Is Star Wars: Battlefront 3 really in development?

A report says a new Battlefront game is in active development at EA DICE and Respawn ². That is the clearest current claim in the supplied sources, but it is a report about development, not an official announcement with a release plan.

The available coverage does not provide a confirmed launch date, platforms, gameplay details or a statement from the studios. It is safest to treat the project as reported rather than to assume that all of its details are settled.

What are the Star Wars: Battlefront games?

The modern series began with Star Wars: Battlefront in 2015, followed by Star Wars: Battlefront II in 2017 ². The 2017 game was developed by DICE and published by Electronic Arts. It offers single-player and multiplayer play ⁵.

Its single-player story follows Iden Versio, an Imperial special-operations commander, in a story set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens ⁵. The game also brings together content from the original, prequel and sequel film trilogies, according to the supplied game reference ⁵.

Why are people still downloading Battlefront II?

PlayStation's September download charts placed Battlefront II 15th in the PS4 category for the United States and Canada ³. That category includes downloads on PS4 and PS5 consoles, because there is no native PS5 version of the game ³. The ranking therefore does not mean that the game has a separate PS5 edition.

The chart indicates continuing downloads, but it does not show why people downloaded the game or how many people were playing online. The source also says the game had received no new content updates for more than six and a half years by the time of the chart report ³.

What is the new Galactic Conquest mod?

A free PC mod called Galactic Conquest Together adds two-player online co-op and versus play to the original 2005 Battlefront II, according to Gamingbible ¹. Galactic Conquest is a campaign mode in which players move fleets between planets, improve their forces and fight battles to take control of the galaxy ¹.

The mod is community-made, not an official feature update. The report says it lets friends play through the campaign together or compete, and that campaign progress can be saved and loaded ¹. This should not be confused with the 2017 Battlefront II or the 2024 Classic Collection.

What is confirmed, and what is still unclear?

There are signs of continued interest in Battlefront II: the September PlayStation chart ranking and the new fan-made mod point to activity around older games ¹³. They do not confirm what a new sequel will contain, when it might arrive or whether it will be released.

The supplied report names EA DICE and Respawn as developers, but offers few public specifics ². Until more information is available, claims about characters, settings, modes, platforms or launch timing should be treated as unconfirmed.

Whether EA or either studio will make a formal announcement about the reported project.
The game's release date, platforms, price and planned modes.
Which characters, eras or stories a possible sequel would feature.
Whether the reported development plans will change.
