New Star Wars Game Announcement… Battlefront 3?
It’s pretty quite in the Star Wars gaming world since the release of Battlefront: Elite Squadron. Thanks to my loyal commentors, it’s been established that the leaked Battlefront 3 footage is not Elite Squadron, thank you all for helping me clear that up!
Over the last week or so, there have been a few interesting surprises, like the fact that EA has officially shut down Pandemic Studios, which was a big surprise to me. One of Pandemics secret projects has been rumored to be a new title called, “Mercenaries” or something, I didn’t really read the article.. haha.
So, today a bunch of sites have been posting that LucasArts will be announcing a new Star Wars game on December 12th during the VGA’s (Video Game Awards on Spike TV)

Geoff Keighley, the King of Twitter, has just tweeted that the next Star Wars game is to be announced during the VGAs on December 12.
He even posted a link to a teaser, which can be viewed here.
The show goes off at 8pm EST on Spike.
Here is the teaser trailer courtesy of GameTrailers.com:
Here are what people are saying could be the possibilities:
- Battlefront III
- Republic Commando II
- Kotor III (unlikely)
- Jedi Knight III
- Force Unleashed II
- Empire at War 2
- Brand new star wars game
I stole that list from Grevious2.0 on the LucasArts forums (hope you don’t mind) 
If anybody else has any others to add to the list, let me know, I would also like to hear your opinions so comment away!
I also wanted get everyone’s ass in gear and sign the Battlefront 3 petition! There are almost 3,000 signatures! Let’s get some more!! There is now an active link on the homepage, you can also access the petition here!
Sdlmfosdjm, it can’t be TOR, as that game has already been Announced.
the old republic
Anyone got a link to this interview with Darrel Rodriguez ?
I’m praying it is BF3. I seems the most logical choice. I mean, they seem pretty hyped for just the announcment. But for all we know it could be a new game. I’m afraid I’m just refusing to get exited about this announcment. Until I see an official BF3 trailer I will remain neutral. Dont want to be dissapointed again.
it better be Battlefront 3. I’d say KOTOR, Force Unleashed, Jedi Knight and Republic Commando are out of the running. I can see Battlefront 3 rearing it’s wonderful head, but Empire at War 2 seems like an interesting prospect. Or we could all jus be disappointed and get a newvieverse type game.
But at the moment, Lucasarts are anyyoing me. They are saying we never was a BF3 when there was blatant footage of it. It it’s not BF3, they are making a huge mistake
We don’t know what’s next?
What’s that supposed to mean. (Watch it be KotOR 3)
We all know that it is just inevitable that they will make a BF3. However, I would say one of them is the Factor 5 game.
I wanna know what happens to this site when BF3 does come out.
(Commando 2 would be nice too)
But if they annouce BF3 as an only PS3 and Xbox 360 release, I’m going out and getting one.
Also, since when has Lucasarts ever made such a big stink about a game annoucment? I mean a trailer for an announcment?
This is BIG. This is Battlefront!
Omg, I am praying to god its Star Wars: Battlefront 3. Please god, I will preorder that game, that exact day. Or I may wait for them to make a collectors edition. That would be amazing. I really want and need this game. PLEASE! I hope they are reading this, because if its not BF3, I swear this much, I will never buy a Lucasarts branded game again.
That just from old republic and the bits with luke and obiwon are from froce unleased sith edition
Some of the scenes in that video are from the upcoming KOTOR mmorpg (I have seen the trailer for it and some parts of this vid are from it). BUT some were definately NOT! (The shots of Hoth Luke and New-Hope Obiwon look awefully peculiar) So there’s still a good chance! cross your fingers!
Hope it’s BF#3 they got all the movies comic books and audio tapes adn cd’s to make it work.
I literally just want to camp outside the award show until the damn thing is announced. SWB3 FTW!!!!!!
Republic Commando and EAW were actually really popular and have a big fanbase. The Commando books are among the most popular star wars books so making another game in that series would make sense. But I hope its BF3
TYEAH!!!!!!!
I do hope it is Battlefront III. But I actually found a few months back, a trademark/copyright filing by LucasArts for a video game titled Star Wars Legends, which hasn’t been announced yet, so that could be it. But who knows.. looking forward to the Dec 12 at least.
How can they possible fob us off with any star wars crappy game. This must be the moment we have all been waiting for SWB3 next gen. If it isn’t I’ll make the bloody game myself
lets cross all our fingers and toes that its battlefront III. I have a feeling its not though. Now I’m all ancy to see what it is. I was already tuning in to see footage of halo reach. I think I’m more excited for this though.
I can’t picture them announcing a new Force Unleashed so soon after the Sith Edition release. I hope it’s Battlefront 3, but getting my hopes up would be stupid.
I don’t think Republic Commando or Empire at War will ever get a sequel because they were just released to test the waters (FPS and RTS) for Star Wars and they weren’t that popular.
There won’t be a KotoR 3 because The Old Republic is supposed to be that. And a Jedi Knight 3 is just too similar to TOR.
I believe Rogue Squadron for the Wii has been canceled.
It’s most likely an X-Wing remake, Force Unleashed game, or Battlefront III.
Its battlefront 3. Im an optimist.
There are a few other rumored games;
Another Rogue Squadron from Factor 5.
Those X-Wing remakes that Darrel Rodriguez mentioned a few months ago.
That browser-based Clone Wars MMORPG (Christ help us all).
However, I want Battlefront III over any other anticipated title and I’m almost certain it will be one of the two announced LucasArts games at the VGA’s this Dec. 12th.
