Rebellion is working on Star Wars Battlefront III, a source within the industry has told VideoGamer.com today.

Following yesterday's reports on the closure of UK-based development studio Free Radical Design, rumours emerged that development of Star Wars Battlefront III had been moved to Rebellion - the Oxford-based studio behind the recent Call of Duty: World at War for PlayStation 2, Star Wars Battlefront Renegade Squadron for PSP and the excellent Aliens Vs Predator, released for PC in 1999.

According to the source: "Rumours of Rebellion doing the Battlefront III project aren't wrong."

Assuming the source's comment is accurate, this confirms that the next Star Wars Battlefront game has not been cancelled along with the demise of Free Radical Design, news which is sure to please fans of the series.

The Truth	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post The truth is this, yes frd was making bf3, although many seem to forget the massive turn over of staff at lucasarts a few months back, this turnover included the people in charge of bf3, the new people, even though frd had secured bf4 with the original lucasarts being so happy with bf3 decided they couldn't afford to finish the intended title with all its features with frd and have decided to get Rebellion to do a cheaper cut down version of the original pitch!!!!! Sounds like the demise of the bf series to me, the frd version really had some jaw dropping moments Reply
