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!

Well if I know anything its that games canbe announced anywhere and in many forms. It doesn’t have to POP up at E3… I don’t know why people are so obsessed with that but bf2 was announced out of the revenge of the sith dvd release. So it could be anything. Or come from anywhere. Good find guys.
Sorry gang, GameInformer shot this one down.
@GI_AndyMc Andy McNamara
Just found a story that believes our next cover is Star Wars: Battlefront 3. While that would be awesome, it’s wrong. Keep guessing!
and i think that there was a tweet from someone form GI i think Tim Turi about the game cover that old school gamers will love and i think that it is safe to say that SWBF3 is not an old school game. man there are too many people that want this game to come out for LA not to make it…so LA make that damn game already!!!
That would really be awesome guys but a lot of people seem to be guessing respawn entertainment is gonna be the surprise developer for the game they’re gonna reveal. I SO HOPE THEY’RE WRONG!!!!!!!!!
Also, some of the developers for past Lucas Arts games now work at spark unlimited studios.
This has just gone up on a UK site … could they have been teasing their own exclusive?!? I hope so because then we only have two days to wait!!

!!!!POSSIBLE LEAD AND INFORMATION!!!!
I read that the editor chief (or someone) at gameinformer said it will ‘shock you’ and that ‘many will not see it coming’. But gameinformer February issue in 2010 was halo reach, and gameinformer February 2011 revealed skyrim. Both huge games. According to TQcast, ‘When asked if it’s a cover people could guess, McNamara responded, “I think you could, though it’s not announced”‘
Which I reckon is a bit more I a giveaway to it being battlefront 3. Mainly because it is said to be a big game that will shock many. Yet any major call of duty or any other popular franchises could be ‘guessed’ easily. Where as the editor in chief said ‘I think you could (guess)’
With the key word being ‘could’ it means it is a possibility, ruling out most popular game franchises. This goes both ways towards and against battlefront 3.
It’s not Battlefront 3. I posted above a tweet from an employee of GameInformer that flat out denies it.
I will add the post later.. still at work. Thanks for the heads up though!
Og,
such a shame… though they never denied it being a star wars game did they? it could possibly be Jedi Knight 4? i doubt it though
This site, http://www.tqcast.com/2011/12/23/game-informers-february-cover-will-shock-you/, states that the cover will be revealed this Thursday.
I’m not sure if there will be an article about it but anything about SWBF3 would be great news
Niiiiiccccceeeee!!!!
My Smile is STUCK!!!:D 
For what its worth (probably about 1 galactic credit!) I dont think it will be in the GameInformer…. no no no- too low-profile.
I’m definitely thinking Super Bowl!
HA!!!
if they revealed the game in a super bowl commercial than that would be the best one ever!!!
