The massive groundswell of assist for the sport has brought Star Wars: Battlefront creative director Dennis Brannvall back to social media. His final submit was in 2023, nevertheless it appears like he’s lastly remembered his X password.

The return of Battlefront has led to followers calling for a sequel. EA not has the license to the sequence, although, however that doesn’t imply one thing couldn’t occur, or that Lucas Movies might even get a brand new staff to deal with a Battlefront recreation. Sadly, it appears unlikely that we are going to get a brand new recreation within the sequence, however then once more, who is aware of? If Lucas Movies senses cash to be earned, it’d simply occur.
