So, over the last few weeks I’ve been noticing a lot of rumors popping up that something about Battlefront 3 will be in February’s edition of Game Informer magazine. Also, a member in our forums (PANIC98) has posted the following:

“I’ve been told by my reliable source, that info on BF3 will be in a major gaming magazine.”

Now that can’t be confirmed but it does help support the rumors that have been floating around. Another forum member of ours (Joelfigbars) has offered his opinion to help deconstruct what may be happening:

“When PANIC said that his friend said that Battlefront 3 info would be in a “major gaming magazine” I flipped through the Elder Scrolls issue for any teases to whats next month cover story. In an article for the Top 50 games of the year there is a section for top ten dissapointments. At number nine is Lucasarts. The section says this exactly.

“LucasArts has two film franchises just screaming to be triple-A gaming blockbusters in Star Wars and Indiana Jones, but the Force is no longer strong with this publisher. The studio suffered layoffs in September and the departure of veteran project lead Haden Blackman. Later, it handed over Star Wars: The Old Republic to EA. Where’s our Star Wars: Battlefront update? Why hasn’t LucasArts delivered the Indiana Jones game we deserve? Most importantly, what’s going on over at LucasArts”

Now this is the closet thing I found to a tease of anything in the whole magazine. They always tease their next cover story. Like last issue and a whole article on the History of the elder scrolls or the one before that one which was a whole two page spread of a boat with the words a survivor will rise, which ended up being the Tomb Raider reboot. This month in an article online of “what you guys would like to see in 2011″ Star Wars battlefront 3 came up the most. They have always stated their interest in seeing a new Battlefront.bSo my question is if thats the closest could it mean that the next issue is Battlefront 3. Well we could find out around February

This again, helps raise some hope and I hope that Game Informer comes through for us with some information on Battlefront 3!

Thoughts?

    Lucasarts have nothing on the roster after SW Lego 3 & that is out in March so they need to announce something they they are going to release beyond that …

    Please let it be Battlefront 3 & not more DLC for SW:FU2!

      I wonder what happened to free radical’s swbf3 resources. Sold it to crytek or to spark unlimited for completion or lucasarts demanded Free Radical to eliminate them.

        I heard that sadly Free Radicals version was never going to see the light of day. It sucks because I thought seamless ground to space battles would have been awesome. Maybe they’ll carry the idea over.

          Just stop and think for a moment, BF3 with Crysis 2 graphics (drools).

          Seamless ground to space combat, and a battle being fought in the air, space and on the ground at the same time! that would be the baddest ass game of all time. Come ON LA get it together already! And I want to work a real turbo laser, not those pathetic turrets in bf3!

        Actually, there was some talk going around that Rebellion was possibly trying to buy Free Radical’s technology for BF3……

    Well, considering that the new Tomb Raider didn’t officially exist (like SWBFIII) until it was confirmed in Game Informer last year, I shall be holding my hopes up for this issue.

    i hope its true. But one can never know, it seems so sloppy now though. If it is announced, whos to know if its going to be any good? There are roumors here, roumors there, it could be developed by the queen of england for all we know. If it is announced, I want it to be official, solid, real, and most of all respectable. Not just a game to get us fans to shut up for a day or two.

    I am unsure if this game will be announced this spring, but Lucas Arts must have to be influenced some by this website……or at least I hope.

    Well, I’m pretty sure that BATTLEFIELD 3 is going to be featured in next month’s game informer. Maybe someone abbreviated it as BF3 and someone else thought they meant Battlefront 3.

      What if it cost… OVER 9000!!!

      100 (for bonus stuff) Is as high as I would go, but 70 for just the game. MAX.
