They released a short trailer alongside the game's announcement. Spark Unlimited was also rumored to be creating Battlefront III in 2012, but were creating Lost Planet 3.Īfter another year, it was revealed at E3 2013 that DICE would be developing the next major release of Battlefront under Electronic Arts.
However, they still had some footage of Battlefront III game-play and led many people to believe the game would be at E3 2010, but were proven wrong. Rebellion Developments was thought to have created a Battlefront III in 2008, but instead they released Star Wars: Battlefront: Elite Squadron, the fourth installment in the series. However, the company could not support the game due to the loss of an employee and other concurrent projects going on at the time.
The game was in production with Free Radical Design after learning that LucasArts made no comments or mentions of a third Battlefront installment. After the release of Star Wars: Battlefront II, the game (as Star Wars: Battlefront III) was rumored to be released multiple times.
