Star Wars Battlefront III coming as an Xbox 360 exclusive from the creators of GoldenEye

21 March 2007

The March issue of UK magazine PlayStation World (PSW) made a surprising announcement in the middle of their Star Wars retrospective feature. On page 65, PSW states that Free Radical Design (the creators GoldenEye and TimeSplitters) is developing the next/third iteration of Star Wars Battlefront.

To quote the magazine: “Star Wars Battlefront III is also currently in development, with LucasArts having switched coders from Pandemic Studios – who made Battlefront I and Battlefront II – to Free Radical… Star Wars Battlefront III is listed as an Xbox 360 exclusive, but expect a full PSW review to before the end of the year.”

The magazine doesn’t think it will stay Xbox 360 exclusive and will come to PS3 later in 2007, which makes sense since Star Wars Battlefront II appeared on PC, Xbox, PS2 & PSP back in 2005. While LucasArts hasnâ€™t made an official announcement yet, we thought this was too good to pass up on. Let’s hope we’ll hear/see more about the online multiplayer shooter soon.

Are we now getting into Xbox vs PS3? I thought that we were talking about which system gets BF3. Not Xbox vs PS3.

I think you should all relise that this is a post about star wars battlefront 3 and not the ongoing battle over whether the Xbox 360, PS3 or Wii are better I think everyone should realise that they are different consoles and if you want to argue about them then go to a different post. The fact is BF3 will probably come out on PS3 aswell as Xbox 360 because the creators wouldn’t want to miss out on such a big market and so can people now get back to what they think will be in this game.

All of you are stupid. I wouldn’t take this as a resource for the BattleFront news. I’m going to wait for an official announcement.

I highly doubt it will be 360 exclusive because sales for the game on XBOX was totally outstripped by PS2 which would be more than enough reason to release it for PS3.
