Enthusiasts of the Star Wars Battlefront series have fervently expressed their desire for a continuation of the celebrated shooter franchise. Nevertheless, in the absence of any official word from EA regarding the creation of Star Wars Battlefront 3, the community has taken initiative to craft their own rendition of the game.
Star Wars Battlefront 3 as a Community Mod
The community-led initiative, named Star Wars Battlefront 3, can be found on Nexusmod and alters Battlefront 2 (2017) into an unofficial sequel. While it remains in an alpha state, the mod brings forth a number of exciting features:
- Eleven new heroes, such as Ahsoka Tano and Mace Windu
- Eleven new villains, including Darth Revan and Darth Bane
- An additional combat ability for every character
- Force flips and heightened flying speeds
- Fresh maps: Geonosis Arena, Mustafar, and Coruscant
The mod also guarantees distinctive abilities and gameplay styles for the newly added characters, with ambitions to broaden the character selection to over 100 in the future.
Another Alternative for Battlefront 3
This latest mod is not the first fan endeavor to bridge the gap created by the lack of an official Battlefront 3. The Battlefront 3 Legacy project has been underway since 2018, utilizing the original 2005 Battlefront 2 as its core. This mod integrates elements from Free Radical Design, the studio that was involved in developing Battlefront 3 from 2006 to 2008.
It includes content from the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War periods, a revamped HUD, and extra maps like Coruscant, Cato Neimoidia, Bespin, and Dantooine. Players can also experience new heroes across all Assault modes, featuring Obiwan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Boba Fett.
The call for a legitimate Battlefront 3 is clear, with more than 14,000 votes backing its creation on Change.org. This renewed enthusiasm aligns with the resurgence of Battlefront 2 on Steam, following the popularity of the Andor series, which has resulted in a surge in player activity. As the sole modern multiplayer shooter in the Star Wars realm, it continues to win the affection of fans.
