Bulkhead CEO Links DICE and Respawn to Star Wars Battlefront 3
Joe Brammer says his information on Respawn is secondhand and that he is unsure what the work could mean for Battlefield.
Joe Brammer, CEO of Wardogs developer Bulkhead, says DICE is working on Star Wars Battlefront 3 and that, from what he has heard, Respawn is involved too. His claim remains unconfirmed, but it suggests a more concrete step than simply naming potential developers. On October 19, Jeff Grubb relayed a Quartermann rumor that Lucasfilm was seeking a Battlefront partner, with DICE and Bungie named as possible candidates in the earlier partner-search rumor.

Earlier chatter, which Jeff Grubb discussed while referencing an Electronic Gaming Monthly column, said Lucasfilm was seeking a development partner, with DICE and Bungie among the possible candidates. Brammer’s claim adds Respawn to the rumor and describes active work rather than a possible studio match.
Brammer also said he was unsure what the work could mean for Battlefield.
What would you want DICE and Respawn to bring to a new Battlefront, if Brammer’s claim proves accurate? For more on the studios tied to the rumor, follow along on X, Bluesky, YouTube, Instagram, Steam, and Telegram.
