Speculation has begun swirling around the possibility of a Battlefield 3 Remake, and developer DICE has stoked the flames with the behavior of the official Battlefield Twitter account following its restoration after a sudden and cryptic deletion earlier in the week. Battlefield 5 was the most recent entry into the long-running shooter, and its reception was decidedly mediocre for a series that had produced some extremely popular titles, including Battlefield 4, which fans felt had laid the foundations for another successful string of instalments.
That didn’t come to fruition, however. Whether it was because of a brief flirtation with no microtransactions that saw them implemented so quickly after launch that fans revolted or the simple fact that Battlefield 5 broke promises to fans, the game failed to gain traction despite a persistent attempt at making the live service model work. Battlefield 5 was so poorly received that its content cycle ended earlier than expected, as developer DICE and publisher EA announced that Battlefield 5 support was ending just a few years into the game’s existence. To say that fans don’t exactly have high hopes for Battlefield 6, whenever that announcement may be, is an understatement.
There may be hope for Battlefield fans yet, however. The game’s official Twitter account has been teasing news coming soon, and a recent post from the Battlefield social media account has fans particularly excited, as it appears to be teasing a Battlefield 3 Remake. The Battlefield Twitter account disappeared suddenly earlier this week, which, coupled with the end of support for Battlefield 5, kickstarted rumors that a new announcement was coming. Most people at the time assumed there’d be news about Battlefield 6 shortly – but when the Twitter account resurfaced hours later, it did so with cryptic teases and a video showing off a Battlefield 3 clip with the caption “what?”

While a Battlefield 3 Remake would be an interesting direction for DICE, it’s not necessarily the most obvious direction. While Battlefield 3 released in 2011, it’s actually held up pretty well graphically – and while it’s popular, Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2, both of which are at least 15 years old or more, had better Metacritic scores, which makes them better targets for remasters. However, the fact that Battlefield 3 already looks good might make it a more simply transition into a remastered effort, which would make sense if DICE was focusing on something else at the same time – like, for instance, the development of Battlefield 6.
There’s also the possibility that the tweet literally means nothing, as the Twitter account vanished so suddenly it could’ve been a genuine mistake. That seems like the least likely option, but it’s worth considering. Until DICE and EA make an official announcement on the future of the Battlefield series, though, fans will continue to interpret these cryptic teases into whatever they most want – and a surprising number of them seem eager to jump back into Battlefield 3 on current- or next-gen consoles.
