TikTok Memes Revive Anticipations for STAR WARS Battlefront III

In 2025, STAR WARS Battlefront II, the controversial 2017 game that was once buried under one of the worst launches in gaming history, is making a sudden and explosive comeback. As a result of TikTok trends, the excitement at Star Wars Celebration, and newfound interest in the franchise from Andor Season 2, the game is now being played by tens of thousands of people at the same time and is once again the topic of conversation among fans.

Battlefront II was made by DICE and published by EA. When it came out, it had a loot box-based progression system that made fans mad and caused a global backlash. Star cards, which are power-ups that change the game, were locked behind random number generators that heavily favored people who were willing to pay real money. This "pay-to-win" scandal changed how the whole industry deals with microtransactions, not just the game itself. International governments stepped in and made digital storefronts clear about in-game purchases.

In spite of everything, STAR WARS Battlefront II didn't die. EA and DICE rebuilt the game from the ground up, getting rid of pay-to-win features, changing how the game progressed, and releasing a lot of free content updates that helped the community get along again. Now, years later, Battlefront II is thought to be one of the best Star Wars games ever, despite the fact that people used to hate it.

Recent Steam charts show that the number of concurrent players has grown by almost 300% in the last month, with a peak of around 10,000 on Steam alone. This doesn't include Epic Games or EA's launcher, which many more fans are returning to. In a way that not many people saw coming, memes, TikTok, and livestreams are once again praising the game. This has brought the Battlefront brand back to life.

Fans are now wondering if Battlefront III is finally coming out. EA and Disney gave up their exclusive rights to make Star Wars games years ago after STAR WARS Battlefront II failed, but the games' renewed popularity is hard to ignore. Even Diego Luna, who plays Andor on TV, recently spoke out in favor of a new installment.

Still, there are big problems to solve. EA no longer has the exclusive license, and DICE is hard at work on the next Battlefield game, which many people see as a chance to make things right. Not only would Disney have to agree to make Battlefront III, but there would also have to be a development studio with the resources and trust to take the lead.

Even so, the buzz is louder than it has been in years despite the problems with getting things done. The community is coming together, influential people are running campaigns, and the number of players is through the roof. There's no doubt about it: Battlefront is once again strong.
