Battlefront IIIEdit
A third Battlefront game may be in development. Developer Free Radical has neither confirmed nor denied that they are working on a Battlefront game. They have stated that they are developing a new Star Wars game for LucasArts. So far, it has only been announced for the 7th Gen console Xbox 360, but speculation that it will come out on other current- and next-generation consoles has arisen.
In late 2008, Free Radical went into administration, and LucasArts revoked the contract. Leaked footage of Battlefront III appeared on the internet for a short while, as did renders from the game. Not long after, Pandemic Studios, original creators of the series, posted a short brief for "Project X" on their site. Fans believed this to be Battlefront III, but a spokesperson has since rebuked the claim.
In 2011, Spark Unlimited was developing an "unannounced" game, and, if asked if it was BF3 or not, responded along the lines of: "We cannot comment at this time. Please wait for announcement by LucasArts." The game that Spark Unlimited has been developing was revealed to be Lost Planet 3. As of now there is no further information on Battlefront III.
Recently alpha footage of Battlefront 3 was leaked. The footage showed some of the new features that were going to be placed into the game, like ground to space combat and the use of planet side ion cannons. The main characters in the game appeared to be X1 and X2 from Star Wars Battlefront Elite Squadron.
A facebook page dedicated to promoting Battlefront III, called Who Else Wants Star Wars Battlefront III, has been running a steady campaign to show and gain support for a potential project.
