Andor Actor Pushes EA for Battlefront 3 Revival

Demands for a new Star Wars Battlefront title have gained momentum with support from an actor in the acclaimed series Andor.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2017) has experienced a remarkable resurgence recently, achieving its highest Steam player counts in years despite DICE ending official support long ago.

Muhannad Ben Amor, who portrays rebel hero Wilmon Paak in Andor, has joined fans in campaigning for a sequel through social media.

"Star Wars needs to deliver Battlefront 3 immediately," Amor posted on Instagram, sharing his 469-hour playtime in Battlefront 2. "I grew up with Battlefront 2 - I've been a veteran since launch," the actor added. "Let's hope Battlefront 3 becomes reality."

The game's recent popularity surge coincides with Andor's climactic second season and annual May 4th Star Wars celebrations. Having previously maintained around 2,000 concurrent Steam players, Battlefront 2 is now approaching its all-time peak of 10,000 simultaneous players.

The resurgence raises questions about a potential Battlefront 3. Currently, DICE is focused on developing its next major Battlefield installment, with a full reveal expected this summer. The studio may also harbor reservations about reviving the franchise after Battlefront 2's controversial loot box launch, though public perception has significantly improved since 2017.

"Star Wars Battlefront 2's transformation makes it worthy of the Skywalker legacy," noted IGN's 2019 re-review. "It now stands as one of the most authentic and exciting Star Wars gaming experiences available."

While EA no longer holds exclusive Star Wars game rights, Respawn Entertainment continues developing Star Wars projects, including a third Jedi installment.
