EA Confirms DICE and Respawn Are Teaming Up on a New Project
Industry·October 21, 2026

EA has confirmed that two of its studios, DICE and Respawn Entertainment, are collaborating on a new project. The publisher did not reveal what the game is or when it might arrive, so the announcement leaves most of the details open.
The timing has drawn attention because of the long-running speculation around Star Wars: Battlefront 3. DICE has deep ties to the Battlefront franchise, having developed the 2015 reboot and Star Wars Battlefront II in 2017. Respawn, meanwhile, has been best known for its Star Wars action-adventure games, the Jedi series that began with Fallen Order, and for its work on Apex Legends. A partnership between the two studios is the kind of setup that fans have been expecting for a new Battlefront-style shooter, but nothing EA has said so far ties this collaboration to that franchise.
Until EA shares more, the confirmation is best read as a sign of internal teamwork rather than a firm release signal. Fans should treat claims about the project's genre, platforms or launch window with caution until the publisher or the studios provide official information.
