Star Wars: Battlefront 3 ’Leaked Off-Screen’ gameplay
Though still officially in limbo, Star Wars: Battlefront 3 may be taken back by the series’ original creators, according to a report from VideoGaming247. Citing an "insider source," the game is said to be going back to Pandemic Studios, which made the first two Star Wars: Battlefront games.
Though the title has never even been formally announced by LucasArts, it’s been getting a lot of attention lately. Financial difficulties at FreeRadical supposedly shifted the rumored project to Rebellion. When fans saw the renders and more recently, leaked alpha footage from Free Radical, interest grew. But it’s impossible to tell if Rebellion took the existing game and built on it, or started from scratch, especially with so little official information. Now this report conflicts directly with what we’ve previously heard, claiming that Pandemic will be handling the game. If it was taken from Rebellion, we may never know exactly why, but with interest buzzing on the game we expect to hear official word on a developer soon.
Whichever studio lands the project, it’s good to know that the game itself appears to be surviving FreeRadical’s money woes. We’ll have to see how closely the project still resembles the alpha footage when official word finally comes.
