Star Wars Battlefront 3 is reportedly in development, according to a new report. However, if accurate, there are several studios such as Bungie and Respawn that are rumored to be involved with the multiplayer’s revival.

Star Wars Battlefront 3 Reportedly in Development at DICE and Respawn

This latest rumor first kicked off when a report surfaced online claiming that Bungie and DICE were potentially the developers for Star Wars Battlefront 3. However, things got interesting quickly when Joe Brammer, CEO of WARDOGS developer Bulkhead, confirmed that he had heard that the leaked multiplayer game is in fact real.

Responding to a post on X about the rumor, Brammer wrote: “DICE and from what I’ve heard Respawn are working on Battlefront 3. Not sure what that means for Battlefield.” Interestingly, Brammer did not mention Bungie in his response, leaving its potential involvement unclear.

Now, it should be pointed out that Brammer qualified his claim with “from what I’ve heard.” Although his position as Bulkhead’s CEO adds some weight to his comments, this still isn’t official confirmation. That said, we should treat this latest rumor with a major grain of salt until an official announcement is made. Even if it is real, it’s unclear how far along the project might be.

Where Bungie Fits Into the Star Wars Battlefront 3 Rumors

Brammer’s comments follow an earlier rumor discussed by Jeff Grubb on Game Mess Mornings. Grubb shared claims from Electronic Gaming Monthly’s Quarterman rumor column suggesting that Lucasfilm was looking for a development partner for a new Star Wars Battlefront game, with DICE and Bungie named as potential candidates.

As far as how Bungie factors into this, its potential role remains unclear. With Brammer not mentioning the Destiny 2 studio at all, we don’t know whether it is involved or was simply being considered.

Then again, Brammer also pointed out that this was something he had heard. All this to say, there is a lot of smoke around this Star Wars Battlefront 3 development rumor. However, whether it leads to a new game—and how far away that project might be—is anyone’s guess.

While it might be too soon to celebrate, it does sound like an exciting update for fans of the Star Wars multiplayer series. Given the recent string of incredible Star Wars games, including Galactic Racer and Zero Company, who knows? Maybe Respawn and DICE can breathe some new life into the Battlefront series next.

A new GamesBeat report claims that GTA 6 could release on PC within the first three months of 2027. If accurate, PC players could get Grand Theft Auto VI just a few months after its console launch. However, Rockstar Games has not publicly confirmed the reported release window.

When Is GTA 6 Coming to PC?

According to a new GamesBeat report, Rockstar Games plans to release GTA 6 on PC in the first quarter of 2027. That would put its launch sometime between January and March, although the report does not give a specific release date.

GamesBeat says the information comes from four industry sources familiar with Rockstar’s plans. All four reportedly requested anonymity to avoid damaging business relationships. However, their identities and how they learned about the release window are unclear.

Rockstar Games has not publicly confirmed a PC release date for Grand Theft Auto VI. According to GamesBeat, a representative also did not respond to its request for comment before publication. So while the outlet says it has confirmed the plans through its sources, we are still waiting for an official announcement from Rockstar.

If the report is accurate, though, it would be a pretty big deal for PC players who were expecting a much longer wait.

GTA 6 PC Release Could Arrive Just Months After Consoles

GTA 6 is scheduled to launch on November 19, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. A PC release in early 2027 would mean players only have to wait roughly two to four months for the port if the GamesBeat report is accurate.

That would be a much quicker turnaround than Grand Theft Auto V. The previous game originally launched on consoles in September 2013, while its PC version didn’t arrive until April 2015. That was around a year and seven months of waiting.

Of course, a reported release window isn’t a guarantee. Even if Rockstar is targeting the first quarter of 2027 internally, those plans could change before the studio announces anything publicly. Still, if you were worried about having to wait until late 2027 or beyond to play GTA 6 on your PC, this report gives you some reason to be hopeful.
