Star Wars Battlefront fans are preparing to send a big message to EA on the weekend of May 24, as YouTube content creator Bombastic and the game's community want to push the active player count of Star Wars Battlefront 2 as high as possible in order to show interest in a potential Star Wars Battlefront 3. Throughout the month of May, Star Wars Battlefront 2 has been experiencing a resurgence on Steam and consoles, resulting in some of the highest player counts since January 2021 and heightened interest in a potential third entry.
May the 4th celebrations were very eventful for the Star Wars community, thanks to various franchise-related announcements, the premiere of Andor's second season, and the return of Star Wars: Episode 3 – Revenge of the Sith to theaters. The community's excitement and desire for more Star Wars led many fans to revisit Star Wars Battlefront 2 on consoles and PC. Although Star Wars Battlefront 2's resurgence attracted hackers into the fold, a majority of the community has been enjoying their time in the game. Interest in Star Wars Battlefront 3 is also increasing during this resurgence period, but fans are determined to make a statement by raising Star Wars Battlefront 2's player count to new heights.

An actor from the popular Star Wars show Andor joins the growing number of people calling for a third Star Wars Battlefront game from EA.
YouTube content creator Bombastic is calling on the Star Wars community to rally together and play Star Wars Battlefront 2 on Saturday, May 24, as a show of the community's demand for Star Wars Battlefront 3. Bombastic believes that major spikes in player engagement in Star Wars Battlefront 2 nearly eight years after its initial release could send a message to EA and the game's developers, encouraging them to pursue Star Wars Battlefront 3. The content creator is also happy that Star Wars fans are continuously calling on EA to greenlight Star Wars Battlefront 3 across social media platforms, including the comments section of the latest Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer on YouTube.
Bombastic and Star Wars Battlefront 2 Players Want to Rally Together to Show EA Their Demand for Battlefront 3
- Bombastic and Star Wars fans plan to play Star Wars Battlefront 2 on Saturday, May 24, on all platforms.
If successful, the Star Wars Battlefront community could garner enough traction to spark an even greater movement and discussion around a potential Star Wars Battlefront 3. However, it's worth noting that Star Wars Battlefront developers DICE, along with other developers under the EA umbrella, are busy working on the next Battlefield game. As a result, it might take years before Star Wars Battlefront 3 becomes a reality.
Nonetheless, continued and positive word of mouth could help Star Wars Battlefront 2 maintain a large active player base for months to come while fans wait for the upcoming The Mandalorian & Grogu film, which will premiere in 2026. An ongoing petition for Star Wars Battlefront 3 is also gaining traction, so players have an outlet to express their desire for a new game once they take a break from Star Wars Battlefront 2.
