Industry Insider Reveals Disappointing News For Star Wars Battlefront 3
Follow Us
Star Wars Battlefront 3 is now a dead project and fans are upset about it. Tom Henderson, an industry expert, announced that Star Wars Battlefront 3 is not going to happen. But it’s not like there won’t be any Star Wars, it’s just that it won’t be Battlefront 3.
He also mentioned the reason behind Battlefront 3 being canceled, it’s just because of the high licensing costs. This makes sense because production companies do charge a very high licensing cost for using the rights of their assets.

Battlefront 3 was a pitched title from DICE, but ultimately, the title was shot down by EA due to licensing costs.
“It got turned down because it takes 20% more sales to make the same money”, said one past developer.

For the fans who are unfamiliar with Tom Henderson, he is a video game writer who works for VGC News, IGN, and Gaming Intel. On 20th Nov, Tom shared a tweet where he says:
“Battlefront 3 was a pitched title from DICE, but ultimately, the title was shot down by EA due to licensing costs. ‘It got turned down because it takes 20% more sales to make the same money,’ said one past developer.”
Not all bad news
So as confirmed by Tom, the licensing fee was so high that the game had to make 20% extra sales just to cover the licensing cost. In this case, it would be very difficult to even hit the break-even point, and it would be impossible to earn as much profit as the devs would like to. This is exactly why EA canceled this project.
