To not be confused with the cancelled Battlefront 3 within the unique Battlefront sequence, Battlefront III would have been a sequel of kinds to 2017’s Battlefront II, which was mired in controversy resulting from microtransactions.

I’ve seen the construct file for DICE’s subsequent title in October, at the moment simply dubbed ‘Dev-Subsequent,’ which signifies that the title has handed Gate 0, which is its conceptual stage. This stage often takes a couple of months of time.”
