In a recent interview with GameSpot, Motive Studios producer David Robillard said that EA hasn't say the opportunity couldn't come up, but they do have some stipulations.
"This is something we'll explore if we see opportunities there, but it is not something that's on the book right now." A big concern he mentioned was that the game itself utilizes the Frostbite Engine that the Switch has yet to provide support for.

Star Wars Battlefront II is set to launch for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC this November - so if the title does shimmy its way on over to the Nintendo platform, it'll be awhile before anyone sees it. Still, it does provide a little hope for those wanting to use the Switch's unique features, such as the Joy-Con support and touch screen, for a title like Battlefront II. Especially so now that more and more details of the story campaign continue to be unveiled.
