GameInformer Reveals Battlefront 3 in January?
*UPDATE* As you all probably know by now, this is not Battlefront 3. Turns out to be XCOM: Enemy Unknown.. not too sure why they were saying everyone was going to be so excited for this one…
Happy New Year my fellow Battlefrontians!! I hope that you all had a wonderful Holiday and a Happy New Year! What a great way to start off the new year, by having a fresh new rumor!
I would also like to take the time to announce our new partnership with Tuggie Game Reviews!, be sure to check out all of their great videos! I will be announcing the details of our partnership in the next post.
So… it appears that rumors are flying around the web in full throttle about GameInformer possibly revealing Battlefront 3 this month! This first site (sent in by Quentin Karn – thanks!) StickSkills.com seems to believe that it is possible that GameInformer is getting ready to pop the huge announcement of Battlefront 3.
We have known for awhile that Spark Unlimited is most likely to be the ones that are currently developing Battlefront 3 and this post by GameInformer seems to think that it may be possible also.
The evidence is pretty thin, but the twitter population seems convinced.
There are only two real pieces of evidence that have lead people to believe that Spark Unlimited is working on Star Wars: Battlefront 3. One, on its website Spark Unlimited lists in its job section that, “We are in production on an unannounced high-profile, popular game sequel for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC release.” The other piece of evidence, is that it simply isn’t flat out denying that Battlefront 3 is the title it is working on, on twitter. Every inquiry is met with a, “you’ll have ask Lucas Arts about its franchises, we’re just a developer, not publisher,” response.
It’s not much to go on, but it’s possible.
Spark Unlimited only has a few games under its belt with Call of Duty: Finest Hour, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, and Legendary. It seems more likely that they could be working on a new Call of Duty having experience in the franchise already, but twitter seems to think otherwise. We will know more next year when official announcements start rolling out.
They are correct at the moment.. as we still do not have any concrete evidence that Battlefront 3 is in development, but what makes it more possible is the fact that no one is denying or dismissing these rumors as they are surfacing
Lets hear your thoughts!
Thanks to everyone for all of your emails!! Keep them coming!

The thin-layered evidence is strengthened by the fact that no-one IS denying the development of battlefront 3.
The new rumour is heart-punding news indeed! We need Battlefront 3, the world knows that! And it DOES seem convincing, especially with the tedious givings on the rumours, title announcment etc
Whoever is developing Battlefront 3, they have had many years of development so, if January is to see the birth of Battlefront 3, we’ve all waited patiently and we shan’t be disappointed.
While I am hopefull (and expectant) as well, I saw Spark Unlimited tell a Tweeter (in response to an inquiry about the possibility of the new title being a CoD game) that if they wanted to know about Call of Duty, they needed to talk to Activision. I do not think it is fair to say that the fact that they are not denying SWBF3 means they are probably making it, since they are saying the same thing for Call of Duty and are probably not making both games.
However, I do feel like those prior Twitters posts reeked of Star Wars, and I have my fingers crossed for a Game Informer reveal.
I mean, i don’t know either, but I feel that Battlefront just seems more probable, seeing as the last Call of Duty they made was Finest Hour makes it seem unlikely that Activision would get them to do another, especially since Finest Hour was so different than all the modern Call of Dutys. I just feel that Activision won’t go back to the older versions of CoD so it just seems more likly that out of the two games, Spark would probably be doing Battlefront.
FYI- they said that they can neither confirm nor deny any of our ideas as to what we think the game will be, so they are gonna answer all those messages in the same fashion that they have been.
BOOM!I just dropped some knowledge on ya
I don’t know about us waiting patiently
, but we definately will not be disappointed to hear of the release of this awesome game
I sent Spark A tweet about A new call of Duty and there reply was “@christianland Highly unlikely. After we did the first COD, Activision internalized development to their wholely owned studios”
I think that Lucas Arts is near ready to announce BF3 but only one thing stands in their way: PS4 and Xbox 720. I think LA is trying to debate whether to release the game ASAP, which I’m sure we’d all enjoy, or wait until the next-gen consoles and make a game that will be an instant hit that will surely blow us away.
There is not going to be a PS4 & Xbox 720. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that is true.
Trust me, I don’t want a new generation of consoles. There is little room for improvement with the consoles we have now and nobody wants to drop $400 every few years to get the newest console, excluding the games. But everything I’ve read and with the Wii U coming points to PS4 and 720.
actually there is going to be a xbox 720, microsoft annouced they are going to make a next gen console in about 5 years and in the movie Real Steel there is an ad of the xbox 720, so it’s pretty compelling evidence.
FINALLY!!! I HAVE FINALLY FOUND ANOTHER PERSON WHO DOESN’T WANT NEW CONSLES!!!
seriously, when PS3 first came out i wanted to punch somebody in the face, cuz i had just gotten my PS2 like a few months earlier
DEATH TO ANY NEW CONSOLES THAT WILL OUTDATE ANY CURRENT CONSOLES!!!!!
They released Battlefront 2 a week before the the friggin 360, and it still kicked ass. Why would they wait?

The PS4 and 720 are inevitable, I just hope that they don’t come out for 2+ years
the xbox 720 is more than 2 to 3 or more years away.
it is a nice rumour as we havent had any rumours for a while but i dont believe this is true because why would the announcement be in the game informer and not in E3 or straight from spark/lucusarts.
I really hope this is it. We have been waiting years for this moment!
Now that they mention another Call of Duty, I think its probably the New CoD Vita title that was announced without any real details. Just what I think but I obviously hope its Battlefront 3
It can’t be the CoD Vita since they said the major platforms ie PS3 360 PC
It’s definitely a LucasArts project, as otherwise they would’ve denied working with them; no reason not to. However, whether this project is SWBF3 or not is the most uncertain bit. I really hope so. And mostly, I hope they don’t f it up. The Free Radical Design BF3 looked amazing… we can only hope Spark is able to make a legendary game and not just another one of these shooters that get forgotten after a few months.
once again, they said that they can neither confirm nor deny any of our ideas about what the game will be, OR who they are making it with, so they DO have a reason to not deny working with LucasArts, or anybody else for that matter.
BOOM! I just dropped summore knoledge on ya.
i hope this is true
So do we all.
I think it can be but if I look back into the past then it was always the same. We found a rumor and after sometime it turns out as a wrong rumor and nothing did happen. But I wonder why Game informer is talking about this. Does Games informer know more as we? I hope this speculation is true but I don’t know. I hope for that game but it got never official announced…. I will go crazy if it gets revealed next week. I can’t make my own mind. Too many disappointments and I kinda hate LucasArts now. But my opinion about them would change through a simple Battlefront 3 announcement… What can be so hard to do this? I mean Battlefront 3 got never official cancelled… I wanna know what’s up with this game! I’m ready to buy Battlefront 3 three times! But pls gives it us!!
I know, LucasArts is on my nerves, and I hope GameInformer says it. I want to go play Battlefront 2 right now. Death Star, Clone Wars, Republic, Sniper, then a commander. But I always change.
May the Force be with this rumor.
True that, may the force be with us all. (And GameInformer! Mine will be coming in the mail, so I certainly hope they say it, everyone here does!)
