Electronic Arts will not release Battlefront 3 because players no longer want sequels

Battlefront 2 continues to live and grow with content, even given the “loot box scandal.” Often Electronic Arts

abandons projects after the release of the preparedpacks of DLC and further patches the game with patches. Moreover, Battlefront 3 does not even appear in rumors or financial reports. This “strange” behavior for EA was explained by design director Dennis Brannvall in an interview with PC Games N.

What have learned

According to the developer, the sequels still havedemand, but players’ “hunger” for sequels has diminished. Previously, developers followed the prepared route of release, DLC release and paid updates. If the game had mechanics that players didn’t like, then the authors promised to fix it in the sequel.

“I think the industry has changed in this regard.Previously, it was very much like a deal with clear terms, where we made a game, signed up for four expansions and that was it. Back then we focused on the player's value for his money. If there was a system that didn’t work, they penciled it in and said they would fix it in the sequel,” Brannvall said.

Now the developers are focused on improving the experience:

“You see that we actually rework the parts that don't work and aren't afraid to change them, which means the community is happier because the game as a whole is getting better.”

As an example, Brannvall named the systemrevival, which has become team-oriented. With the latest update, players can spawn at points captured by allies, and not just pre-prepared locations.
