Some rumors have surfaced over the last few days as well as the fact that Ubisoft’s creative director Clint Hocking teamed up with LucasArts to start developing an un-named project! Another glimmer of hope for us Battlefront 3 fans as this could be the big moment that we are all waiting for!

There isn’t a whole lot of information available on this secret project, but hopefully we’ll be able to find some more out in the new future.

IGN had this to report:

“Former Ubisoft Montreal creative director Clint Hocking has joined LucasArts to develop an unannounced project, the company confirmed to IGN this morning.

Hocking spent the last nine years at Ubisoft heading development on Splinter Cell, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, and more recently Far Cry 2.

He resigned from the company abruptly in May citing the need for new opportunities.

LucasArts has seen plenty of turnover the past few months. Paul Meegan replaced Darrell Rodriguez as president of the company in June, and Force Unleashed II producer Haden Blackman resigned just last week.”

I am curious to hear all of your guys opinions one what this could be! Also be sure to check out our new sister site which a collaboration between myself, Scott (BF3 Forum Admin), Sam (BF3 Forum member) and Craig (BF3 Forum member). The site will bring you video game reviews from all genre’s with a humorous twist!

Check it out -> ScottIsAlwaysRight.com (Bare with us, the logo is still in production)

Here are some other rumors that have been sent in to me:

“XBOX’s official achievement site, www.xbox360achievements.org, features all games on the XBOX 360 with achievements, as well as upcoming games that will be receiving achievements in-game as well. It turns out Star Wars Battlefront 3 is on the games list, though no achievements have been shown yet. There are no signs of a release date for Battlefront 3 on this site, but it gives us hope that the game is still alive!”

“I heard a rumor (from a not-so-reliable source) that Battlefront 3 is still in production at Rebellion, but it’s being delayed because they wish to claim rights to the technology formerly owned by Free Radical allowing instant ground-to-space travel.”

A big thanks to everyone who sent me an email with rumors, especially vadersdemise and Ryan!

        WRONG! If you want halo, buy an Xbox. But DO NOT, try to take my battlefront away. I would buy you an xbox 360 and every halo game ever made if it meant getting my hands on an xbox 360 copy of battlefront 3 today.

        I highly doubt that. Some games do start production quickly, but that it still not till after the game is released. Some companies even give time after a game is released to let everyone play around with the tools to see if they can come up with something cool. That’s how UC2 multiplayer was created. It’s also doubtful that TFU3 will be released right after the second considering LA isn’t too fond of trilogies.

            @P Dump

            Let me explain what I meant, I see that it was a bit sketchy. When a game is completed the development team sometimes gets to play around with the tools they created to figure out something cool and new. Someone played around getting two Drakes on the screen and when the succeeded they showed it off to the other team members and it eventually evolved into the UC2 multiplayer. It wasn’t a mod from a user but some fooling around by a developer.

            @TomRules1234

            I have a slow internet speed so I don’t play unless I bring my PS3 to a friend’s house. If you still want to add me my PSN is MottMan. You should probably send me a message saying where I met you. But like I said, I go on rarely.

        No, it would be RC2 before its TFU3. Force Unleashed started to suck after the first one and LucasArts knows that. Plus Spark Unlimited is developing a third person action/horror shooter, key word being horror. That fits RC2 much better than TFU3 because it could actually being jumpy, thrill based game. Still hoping for BF3, but the way it’s looking, that seems unlikely.

        I wanna murder that series for not meeting its full potential. I still dream of being Starkiller and searching the galaxing for rouge Jedi. Free-roaming planets, talking to the locals for clues, then taking a Jedi down in an over the top in’s Creed style… They should do that for a Bounty Hunter 2.

    I think this good news it cant be another force unleashed game, monkey game or lego game. All three are in production. The one thing i think that could dissapoint everyone would be a clone wars game. Every other possible game i think will be good

    I have to say- All of this information is great. I keep worrying about all the uncertainty of the speculations… but now LA is reported to be in the development of a new game. This is great news,because it couldn’t be another force unleashed… monkey island games aren’t for the hands of an upper-mediocre game dev, and the clone-wars games are a bit overstocked, aren’t they? They have to be making BF3, or a game to at least barely rival the battlefront series for me to be happy.
