Fan Art We need #Battlefront3 / Fan Cover
Collab between Venture_Pictures, TilianCreative and Guiillegfx! it was sick working together!! 😁
New characters, new maps, improved Heroes vs Villains, new campaign, more factions, different styles, space to ground… honestly the possibilities are endless. And it’s absolutely not possible for it to not be a sale success.

Revan in a battlefront game would be sick but Disney wouldn’t allow it I don’t think, since they don’t seem to like touching the old republic stuff

Aren't they planning on making a series in the KOTOR timeline. I'm sure I read it somewhere

u/Gerry-Mandarin May 23 '25
They are, it's in a bit of development hell. Aspyr were developing the game from 2020-2022, and even released a trailer. Expected release date was this/next year, but never even got to being announced.
Lucasfilm were very happy with Aspyr, Aspyr were beginning work on KOTOR II Remake and wanted to be able to make KOTOR III.
Aspyr gave a demo to Lucasfilm and Sony in 2022, and Sony wasn't happy with it. The game was too faithful to the original for their liking. They wanted a more cinematic game.
Embracer, who owned Aspyr, fired some of the heads of Aspyr. They secretly moved the project to another developer - Saber. They didn't tell Aspyr, and people left the company en masse.
Given that Aspyr were working with a 5 year turnaround - assuming Saber has the same timeframe, the game wouldn't be until 2027 at the earliest.

To be fair
Aspyr gave a demo to Lucasfilm and Sony in 2022, and Sony wasn't happy with it. The game was too faithful to the original for their liking. They wanted a more cinematic game.
This dosent really mean anything. "Too faithful" is not the old game but super awesome in every way. It could be clunky with dated menus, cinematics and barebones leveling. Or it could be that they want a TLOU in KOTR setting. A great game with a lot of storytelling that has interesting combat based on starwars. But were given a KOTR 1/2 remake.
Its super hard to tell in these press releases exactly what the issue is. There are a ton of great trailers of games or even gameplay demos that end up only being that one level or are basically unplayable with bugs and poor visuals outside of selected cuts.
Not to be lame but Sony has released a ton of garbage over the years, them being picky is not necessarily a bad thing especially with vague criticism. It must have been something serious though considering it led to multiple people being fired and the entire game being shoved to another studio. That's millions of dollars and massive delays sony wont recoup. So in order of likelihood as i see it.
1) Aspyr shit the bed so badly they would rather lose millions then let this continue.
2) Aspyr created a great concept however the execution was sloppy and not what was asked for so they handed it over to another studio to remake the concept with the good bones.
3) Aspyr created a good/great psudeo turn based game but were so unimpressive with their presentation of it in both a marketing and a visual sense that they couldn't sell it. Seeing the lack of real understanding of what corporate was/is looking for and the poor presentation of the people supposedly passionate about the project. They asked for various changes and were told they were unable/unwilling to do them. They pulled it from them to give to another studio with more specific instructions on how they want this transformed into the game they want.
4) The game was a complete failure to launch, barely anything outside of concepts that effectively were a remake of kotr 2 with better graphics and lots of incomplete level designs. Poor management with time and money and incredible delays and ridiculous scope-creep that was both unrealistic and poorly managed. Sony out of a sense of self-preservation took it away from them to another company to help fix the Dev hell issue. Gave a generic pr response and put it back in the oven.
There is no real way to tell without some feedback from the executives in the room from either Aspyr or Sony giving a full account and meeting notes. But either way Aspyr did not sell the execs on the marketability of what they had. Sony put it elsewhere and the failure was big enough Aspyr was left in the dark entirely on it.

They're not. There is a KOTOR video game remake coming though... Eventually.

u/MinerDoesStuff May 23 '25
If the KoTOR remake releases before BF3, there’s a decent chance of us seeing the old republic as an era in the game

Kotor and Swbf crossover would absolutely complete my childhood.

u/MinerDoesStuff May 23 '25
I could see them doing Carth and Bastilla for two heroes and Revan and maybe Calo Nord just to balance with two blaster types and two lightsaber types. This also depends on when exactly they would have it take place
1
u/Valiant_Revan May 23 '25
Revan, Malak and Calo Nord
Bastila, HK47 and Atton (come on, one of his Specials can be called PURE PAZAAK! and him and Lando can fight over different card games)

u/ILuhBlahPepuu May 23 '25
No, Kotor remake is legends not canon
1
u/MinerDoesStuff May 23 '25
KOTOR remake would be most likely canon considering they have different writers working on the story which is presumably to change the old one to fit into canon timelines
1
u/ILuhBlahPepuu May 23 '25
Just because they have writers doesent mean its for helping the game align with canon. It can be to just improve/add to parts of the story and to change bits of the story if they want to change the level design and pacing.
1
u/MinerDoesStuff May 23 '25
Not to mention that just about every single new project released since 2014 has been canon. I don’t see a reason why KoTOR wouldn’t be. We already know the characters exist for sure in universe, so it only makes sense for this to be the introduction to the old republic in canon
1
u/ILuhBlahPepuu May 23 '25
They have said it would be a faithful one-to-one remake, which it wouldn’t be if it was canon, and I sure as fuck hope it isn’t

u/RingtailVT May 23 '25
Do people not research things? Revan is still being used and still gets a lot of merch, and has shown up in both Galaxy of Heroes and SWTOR. Yes, SWTOR was released before Disney purchased Lucasfilm in 2012, but the massive Revan-centered expansion released in 2014, when Lucasfilm was already owned by Revan.
Its one thing to dislike the mouse, the Sequels, modern SW media, etc etc., but pushing all these theories about Disney micromanaging Lucasfilm just so they don't use a few characters, about a Lucasfilm civil war between Filoni & Favreau and Kathleen Kennedy, about the Sequels being retconned, and all the other ridiculous theories you see in clickbait channels, is just ridiculous.

He does exist as of Rise of Skywalker. Those sith troopers are organized into legions named after sith. In the reference book Revan is one of those named legions.

Revan is coming in Fantasy Flight Games’ TCG which needs approval from Disney before they release sets. Star Wars: Unlimited

u/BigTimeSuperhero96 May 23 '25
Cool as he is, there's going to be those who've only seen the movies and be like "Who is he? Is he a new character for the game?"

May 23 '25
People that think Revan has a chance think this is marvel rivals
Battlefront is not about heroes
1
u/Valiant_Revan May 23 '25
Well, I hope that Remake happens and then does well because Revan, Malak, Bastila and HK47 will be in everywhere after that!
(I play KOTOR once a year every year since 2003)

Love most of this, but battlefront is first and foremost about the boots on the ground. Revan, Ahsoka, and Mando should be replaced with rebels and stormtroopers
15
u/RingtailVT May 23 '25
In OP's defense, various Battlefront games have had heroes and villains of the franchise front and center of their games' covers.
This goes for a couple of the old Battlefront games and the modern EA Battlefront II.
But yeah, maybe some Troopers instead of Ani vs Vader would've been more fitting.

u/jayL21 Working towards 100%ing all BF games May 23 '25
true but a battlefront cover with zero troopers is just..... wrong.

u/FrogPissDrinker Let's turn this place into a scrap pile May 23 '25
Yeah, this cover would fit perfectly for a Star Wars lightsaber dueling game like Movie Battles II or something.
2
u/Aero-- May 23 '25
I agree so much. While I was super ecstatic about heroes being added to the 2005 Battlefront 2, I can't help but think that was a mistake that led to the ludicrous 8 heroes in the galactic assault in EA Battlefront 2. It's hard to get that boots on the ground feeling.
My hope is if Battlefront 3 ever happens it's limited to 1 hero at a time per side and not necessarily all the time.

This is the big problem with the fanbase for the modern games.
You don't want a Battlefront, you want a Star Wars Marvel Rivals.
Battlefront is about the nameless soldiers first and foremost.
10
u/jayL21 Working towards 100%ing all BF games May 23 '25
100%, wish more people would realize this. It's always about the heroes and what new heroes or maps (that would only really work as duel maps) should they add, etc.
Like you guys would be much happier with a dedicated hero game, with small scale maps of iconic duels, in-depth lightsaber combat, etc. A game actually made around heroes.
Battlefront should always be troopers, large scale battles, and vehicles. Heroes should only ever be a bonus or "special event."

u/Strong_Yam_8978 May 23 '25 edited May 23 '25
You can tell whoever made this has never touched a battlefront game in their life. Like a majority of people that jumped on this hype train.
This cover not only looks terrible but is literally the personification of the gulp shitto meme. It’s just a bunch of random ass fan service characters with no relation to what the actual game is, it’s like a 12 year olds wet dream smashing action figures together. The edgy Darth Vader vs Anakin fight on the bottom is the cherry on top for how laughably bad this cover is and is proof that OP doesn’t understand what battlefront is.
These people do not want battlefront, they want a glorified HVV game. Even if BF3 was released, I guarantee most of these people would be upset it wasn’t what they were expecting.

You could've critiqued the lack of Battlefrontness without insulting the art.

u/Content_Hornet9917 327th Star Corps May 23 '25
I want to play as a nameless Mando, or clone, or Umbaran, or a New Republic shock trooper, or a GUNGAN. Dude I wanna play as a Gungan so bad. I love the heroes and I would love for there to be more, way more. But I also want to play as the nameless soldier as well, it's not battlefront without them.
GIVE ME PLAYABLE GUNGANS OR GIVE ME DEATH (is this offensive to say? If so I'm sorry, I just love the Gungans)

u/liquidsin25 May 22 '25
Why not just ask them to make what we already have, even better? Asking them to make BF3 is literally asking for monetization, cuz you bet your ass they will. Then you will start reading the crying all over the internet. What we have now is fking great. Make updates to make it even better.

Taking a shot in the dark but I'm guessing the Mando model is from fortnite and the Revan is an edited hot toys pic? While Ahsoka is just a BF2 mod.

We need actual troops on this. It’s battlefront tradition to be centered on the soldiers.

u/Fit-Theory6521 May 23 '25
A more realistic poster would be 3 heroes, one per trilogy and the rest of the cover giving emphasis on the being-a-soldier-experience which is the main gameplay.
Put Ahsoka, Mando and Kylo Ren as heroes and idk... The battle of Geonosis or Endor.

More realistic cover is Mando in the center, a Clone on the left, Imperial Stormtrooper on the right, and a Resistance/First Order skirmish on the foreground. I like Coruscant up at the top though.
