"It’s been six and a half long years since the release of Star Wars: Battlefront II.
I vividly recall how the box easily boasted that it was “the sequel to the best-selling Star Wars game of all time!”
Anyone and everyone who played it easily expected a third installment, inevitably a year later as II showed.
Nearly seven years later we know just about as much now as we did then. Through a long and troubled development, much of which is not common knowledge, Battlefront III has been in peril more than a few times.
Today, though, we have as close to definitive proof of the game as it’s going to get."
Is Star Wars Battlefront 3 coming? Well, the correct answer is yes, no and maybe. It’s been six years since the second instalment, and fans are still waiting for confirmation of another sequel.
Game companies are not mature enough to handle this concept without turning it into a casino.
The remakes of battlefront should have been more simular to the originals. CoD/battlefield reskinned as Star Wars was not the anwser.
Someone has just revealed images proving that there was supposed to be a Star Wars Battlefront III for PSP.
Oh yea battlefront games were on the psp weren't they? And force unleashed as well. Great "handheld" versions those were.
Battlefront III in PSP is just Elite Squadron, was never cancelled. The start up menu is even the same same with X1 and X2.
Clever Star Wars fans have uncovered yet another piece of Free Radical's Star Wars: Battlefront 3, exploring the game's tutorial level.
After all these years, Free Radical's SWBF2 is still the best overall Star Wars game to me. It had everything you could want in big fun team battles, Jedi vs Sith and the space battles were extremely well done giving you the ability to land inside a capital ship's hangar to sabotage and take it down from within.
Free Radical didn’t make Star Wars Battlefront 2. The long defunct Pandemic Games developed the original Battlefront 2.
Thank you sir, I appreciate the correction. Pandemic also developed Mercenaries I believe, right? That game too is a classic!
I wish that IP would make a return. The original was better but its the second one had its moments. You could pretty much level anything in those games if you had the right armaments.
This is just Battlefront Elite Squadron. Cancelling it was the right move, very few changes to Battlefront 3 except for a new forgettable campaign.
Please please please please please... BF3 would be a savior to modern gaming!
I hate the original xbox servers are offline, otherwise i'd go play it :(
I've been waiting so long...
One of my favorite games, finally getting a sequel, can't wait to destroy the empire online with my friends :D
I was a Battlefront 2 player on the PS2 on the day it released back in 2005. I was in a clan and everything, one of the best things about those old SWBF games were the community. I think at this time a new game in the franchise would eliminate what made those older games so great.
The SWBF3 footage we saw from Free Radical looked great, we can only hope that this is on par or better than that footage.
I know I'll probably personally be disappointed with the game, but only because I have such high expectations.
Still would be nice to see.
I'm for it as long as it's not as laggy as BF2 was.
Couldn't get into a match without it lagging.
Didn't have that problem with other Xbox 1 games at that time.
