The Star Wars Game Everyone Abandoned Just Broke Its All-Time Player Record on Steam

Remember EA’s Star Wars multiplayer shooter game, Battlefront 2? Well, seems like the game has gained success, just about either years later though. Still, it’s worth celebrating as it reached the highest concurrent players on Steam just recently.

It isn’t like EA expected the same with the shooter, as it’s been dead for a long time. Will DICE seize the moment and look forward to creating a sequel, or leave the game for good? The chances are slim, but worth getting into following the resurgence of players.

Battlefront 2 came back to life after being six feet under for a long time

DICE is mainly famous for the Battlefield franchise, and they tried their best with Battlefront 2. Alas, that didn’t quite attract a user base thanks to a lot of cheaters. Titanfall 2 saw a similar fate as well, but saw a resurgence in players later on. We’re not here for that to be fair, this one is about Star Wars Battlefront 2‘s revival.

DICE wanted to release a free DLC, but EA launched predatory loot boxes to compensate. This deliberately angered players and caused them to quit the game, which stalled its success. It was a good game, but the loot boxes were the only problem players had.

Now, boycotting a live-service game for lootboxes seems absurd nowadays. Many still do the same, for instance, Ubisoft uses Alpha Packs in Rainbow Six Siege, which is similar to lootboxes. EA’s Apex Legends remains a successful ongoing live service title, which also contains those predatory lootboxes.

Since players are realising their mistakes, Star Wars Battlefront 2 has quickly regained a lot of players. This seems random to regular eyes, but again, the game wasn’t bad. It was fun to play, and players enjoyed it to the fullest. Now that more people are giving it a chance, it should be an opportunity EA shouldn’t miss out on.

Should EA create Battlefront 3 following the recent success?

EA would be wise to revive the Battlefront franchise following its success. The Star Wars franchise is a huge craze, and people can’t get enough of it. For instance, Fortnite recently did a Star Wars collaboration; people are talking about it. Moreover, EA has had a lot of success with their Star Wars Jedi series as well, so it makes sense to make another.

However, that won’t happen soon as DICE is currently working on the next Battlefield game, which is still hush-hush. Maybe they can grab a sandwich after and think of a possibility to create another Battlefront game. But again, EA has a bad reputation when it comes to counting to three with their franchise.

People have been begging EA to release a new Titanfall game, but which has no news. The same happened with the Battlefront franchise back in the early 2000s, only to release a reboot ten years later. Maybe EA should listen to fans once and reconsider continuing the series to break out of the curse that looms above them.

EA should realise they are more than the creators of Need For Speed, Battlefield, and EA Sports games. They have other franchises that just require more love, and fans are ready to support them. All they have to do is stray away from predatory business schemes, and the cash will start flowing in.
