What game engine is listed for Star Wars Battlefront II from 2017?

The story behind the answer

The game engine listed for Star Wars Battlefront II from 2017 is Frostbite 3.

DICE developed this Battlefront sequel using Frostbite, the engine family created by fellow Electronic Arts studio DICE for the Battlefield series. Frostbite 3 supported the game's large multiplayer battles, detailed environments, destructible scenery, cinematic lighting, and both first- and third-person perspectives.

Battlefront II was released on November 17, 2017, for Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Its campaign follows Iden Versio, commander of the Imperial Inferno Squad, while its multiplayer expands across several Star Wars eras. The engine choice is sometimes confused with the game's genre: Battlefront II is a shooter, whereas Frostbite 3 is the underlying technology used to build and run it.

Frostbite was not exclusive to Battlefield. Electronic Arts also used it for other major franchises, including Mass Effect, Need for Speed, and later Star Wars titles such as Star Wars: Squadrons.
