Battlefront: Online Still in Development with Slant Six Games?
Whew! Finally, a little bit of news. It’s been super quiet lately on the Star Wars Battlefront, it seems that a lot of people have lost faith that the game is officially dead and will never come out… well not me! I’m going to continue to cover the news and rumors as always because i’m confident we’ll get our Battlefront some day.
Anyway, on the news. According to Connected Consoles, Battlefront Online may be still in development with Slant Six Games, despite the rumors that the game has been scrapped.
Check out what they have to say and it is convincing!
There have been whispers over the past few months revolving around a possible Star Wars Battlefront Online title from SOCOM: Confrontation developer Slant Six, along with the help of LucasArts. On the other hand, we’ve since seen reports that the game may have been canned due to staff layoffs.
Now though, we’ve noticed a new job listing from the studio which could hint at project development continuing. Searching for a new lead designer – which also points to development being started again from scratch – the listing states:
“Slant Six Games is seeking a Lead Designer to be the creative drive behind the making of one of the most exciting AAA franchise console action titles in the industry.”
Of course, this isn’t solid proof that the game is in-fact Battlefront Online, so take it lightly. However, it is a AAA title, so we’re happy.
Slant Six job listing – Lead Designer
Big thanks to Connected Consoles!
Like they said, this isn’t confirmed at all, but it does stick some hope back into the hearts of us Battlefront fans!
Long live Battlefront!
*Oops, I apologize, I forgot tor add in the thanks from Signore del Sith from the LucasArts forums! Thanks!*

eh it ain’t battlefront 3 and isn’t for xbox 360 so no excitement here
.
Lead Designer… Creative Drive… Anyone here fit the discription?
If it’s not a Battlefront it’ll be another SOCOM game. Probably. SOCOM: Confrontation was kinda a dud, but their PSP SOCOM did better from what I hear.
Thanks @ admin.
ummm did anyone know about this http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=eDOv96K5Cm4&feature=related
wasnt sure… feel free to flame if late…
thats fake. its the elite squadron trailer with a few minor adjustments
Finally, Lucasarts needs to realize what the people want. Every other game is just something to help us with the wait in between the battlefront games
I just Talked with a Guy at Game Stop and he said that it is official… IDK but he said I can pre-order it.
yes i hope its true
Finally.. there is ‘a new hope’. I hope they are back working on it.
Thanks, admin but I just can’t put my hopes into a new Battlefront game for consoles anymore. It seems that any game developer that has been rumored to be making Battlefront 3 usually gets hit by layoffs and mostly there company’s shutting down. Until I get some definite news on Battlefront 3 I give up. So please admin, keep looking maybe someday you will be the one to announce Battlefront 3.
Yeah, i don’t blame you. But like I said, I will continue to report the rumors!
Rawdog is a pessimist.
Idk why you are always giving up dude……………….
Rawdog going back to what you siad maybe there’s a reason companies “working” on battlefront keep getting layed off. Maybe lucasarts is only willing to pay a certain amount for development, and then companies with smaller budgets start producing the game. I mean if aa company like ubisoft was producing it or EA (which are both very succseful and would have a bigger asking price,), those companies wouldnt have been sold or laid off. just a thought
LONG LIVE BATTLEFRONT!!!!
finally some good news! Battlefronts are huge titles, i dont know why lucasarts wouldnt make one for ps3 or xbox 360
