Renewed excitement for a new *Star Wars Battlefront* game has gained momentum thanks to Muhannad Ben Amor, the actor behind Wilmon Paak in the critically acclaimed series *Andor*. His recent social media post reignited fan hopes for a potential *Battlefront 3*, especially as the community witnesses a surprising resurgence in the player base of *Star Wars Battlefront 2*.

Over the past month, fans have returned to the 2017 title in droves, pushing its Steam player numbers to their highest level in years—even though developer DICE stopped official support long ago. This revival aligns with the growing popularity surrounding the *Star Wars* universe, fueled by the dramatic conclusion of *Andor* Season 2 and the franchise-wide festivities around May 4th.

Muhannad Ben Amor recently voiced his enthusiasm on Instagram (via Comicbook), urging Lucasfilm and EA to greenlight a sequel. “*Star Wars gotta give us Battlefront 3 ASAP,*” he wrote, adding that he’s logged over 469 hours in *Battlefront 2*. “*Grew up with Battlefront 2 — been a veteran since day one. Let's HOPE Battlefront 3 happens.*”

The game has seen a steady increase in players after years of averaging only around 2,000 concurrent users on Steam. It is now nearing its all-time high of 10,000 concurrent players—a number not touched since its initial launch era.

Is Star Wars Battlefront 3 More Likely Now?

While fan energy is clearly building, the current focus at DICE remains squarely on its upcoming *Battlefield* title. The studio plans to deliver a polished and exciting experience, with a full reveal expected this summer following ongoing player testing.

There may also be lingering hesitation from DICE to revisit the *Battlefront* franchise after the loot box controversy that overshadowed *Star Wars Battlefront 2*'s original release. However, public perception of the game has improved significantly over time, with many now recognizing it as a top-tier *Star Wars* experience.

In fact, IGN re-reviewed *Star Wars Battlefront 2* in 2019 and praised its evolution: “*Star Wars Battlefront 2 is a redemption story worthy of the Skywalker saga… Overall, it’s a great package now that serves as one of the best and most thrilling ways to have an authentic Star Wars gaming experience.*”

EA, while no longer holding exclusive rights to develop *Star Wars* games, still has Respawn Entertainment working on a *Star Wars Jedi* trilogy finale—showing that there’s still room for major new entries in the galaxy far, far away.
