Star Wars: Battlefront is een geroemde franchise waarvan ondertussen drie delen zijn verschenen. Na het lauw ontvangen Star Wars: Battlefront uit 2015, beweert DICE geleerd te hebben uit deze ervaring en beloven ze de kritiek ter harte te zullen nemen. Daarom zal het ditmaal naar verluidt een volwaardige singleplayer bevatten, evenals locaties en personages uit de zowel de prequel als sequel-trilogieën.
De game wordt ontwikkeld door DICE in samenwerking met Criterion Games en Motive Studios, uitgegeven door EA en verschijnt op de PC, Playstation 4 en Xbox One. Het nieuwe deel uit de franchise wordt zoals zijn voorganger gebouwd op de Frostbite 3-engine.
