So, not much has been happening in the last few weeks.. in fact.. it’s been extremely quiet. Spark Unlimited have set up a question and answer section on the bottom of their website, but unfortunately, they are still not providing any insight into their super “secret” game. Their latest question answer being:
QUESTION: Hi, I would like to ask if the game your developing is the long waited Star Wars: Battlefront 3 or if it has anything to do with Lucasarts. I heard from other people that you just said that they had to take that with Lucasarts but, it is next to impossible to contact Lucasarts. No matter what game you guys are doing, it is in my beliefs that you will make a great job 
-Jakob
ANSWER: We are the solely the developer of games. The publisher controls said properties. All announcements, information and/or materials must come from or coordinated through the publisher. If you want word on Battlefront, you need to contact LucasArts.
At this time, we are prohibited from talking about who we are working with or working on either through affirmation or processes of elimination. So, I can neither confirm nor deny what we are working on or whom we are working with.
Which of course, is something that we already knew…
Our good friend Rainz has also sent in his insight and offers up some great points.
As you know, on Spark Unlimited’s website, they had an unannounced project presumed to be Battlefront 3, “with the public disclosure of the title still months away”. And that particular bit of info was posted on the website in January.
As we are now in August, many of us were confused about when this “unannounced” project would finally be shown to the public. It was not announced at E3 or at Comic-Con. Now many of us have possible ideas about when Spark would reveal it’s title: When the Blu-Ray collection of Star Wars is released on September 16th, or during Spike VGA’s in December, or even at next years E3! While those dates may or may not be accurate ideas, I’ve come up with another.
LucasArts has had two anticipated titles, Star Wars Kinect and The Old Republic, in the spotlight during their past showings at events, with both games having a suggested release date of the 2011 Holiday season, Kinect with a suggested Christmas release, and The Old Republic with a late November release.
When Spark Unlimited was asked about the release date for their title, they replied with this “The release date is solely at the publisher’s discretion. It is subject to change and has changed. It is still months away until it isn’t.”
My opinion is that LucasArts will hold back on announcing future titles until these two games are released. It would feel out of place to announce a new project in the middle of all the hype. My best guess is they will probably announce it about 5-6 months after these two games are released when all the excitement surrounding Kinect and Republic has died down.
I would have to agree that LucasArts will be more reluctant to bring out another huge title like Battlefront 3 while being in the middle of The Old Republic and Star Wars: Kinect.
Lets hear some opinions! Lets get some faith and hope rolling again Battlefrontians!
Your point on Lucasarts or Spark announcing a game while there is still hype for another game would be a bad move, so therefor you are pretty much right! I know that Lucasarts haven’t given up on BF3 because otherwise they would have said that they would not do another battlefront. Spark have been keeping a quiet word for a long time, so hopefully it will be announced after the release of old republic or during the blu ray re masters, because then they will still take another year atleast and you know it will be perfected! Name one bad star wars Lucas arts game!
name one bad lucasarts game eh?
Force Unleashed 2.
That was awful.
also, just to let everyone know; SWBF3 will be out late 2012.
don’t know anything about it, just know it’s coming.

Then the question is: Will it be good? Or might they ad two more maps and one vehicle more with HD graphic? (BORING)
Hopefully they do something good, hope you are not wrong
Aus, I object.
You have no evidence whatsoever that you are working on SWBF3.
You have no evidence that you are working for LucasArts.
Before you go around spreading rumors to cattle who will believe anything they read, stop and just tell the truth or discuss the topic.
/endof
Sometimes my mind wanders, and battlefront 3 pops in
It makes me feel kinda gloomy
This is the part where I say that Lucas Arts has dropped the ball
but I question if they are even in the game
They certainly have made an exit stage left in my life.
Battlefield 3 will be good, Modern Warefare 3 will be great, Battlefront 3 will Be outstanding!!!!!!!! We musen’t give up. Let the other games occupy your time. Remeber patience is the Key to many Victorys and this war will be won with out violence (nonsence) although time hasen’t been on our side, Let the upcoming games speed time up to that day when the game is announced.

You mean Battlefield 3 will be awesome, Modern warfare 3 will be good, Battlefront 3 will be speechlessly awesomerrrr, lol =p
you mean modern warfare 3 will suck (because it will, it looks exactly like mw2, same f’ing guns, only difference is two scopes) battlefield 3 will rule (dice > infinityactivisionclusterf**k) and battlefront 3 will literally blow your mind into tiny pieces.
y’know what will be better than all of that noise?
any game in the next 20 years that isnt another bad sequel…
originality is A #1!!!!!
Yea MW3 will diffently be shit compared to BF3 but speaking in the general population of gamers MW3 will most likely be getting the sales but unlike you and I and ppl who have common sense we will buy BF3 and hopefully BATTLEFRONT3!!! =)
CODMW3 will suck. COD has gotten worse with each game. I mean you can get hit with many bullets and just stab someone to get the kill. The maps are getting worse and the overall online game play is just stupid. You spawn up with guns pointed at your back. No stratagy at all in the game. Battlefield though has gotten really good. More realistic game play and if the 3rd battlefield is anything like bad co. 2 in the respect to how everything can be blown up then it should be the best shooter on the market. But if SWBF3 comes out and is what it should be then it should blow everything we’ve ever seen and hpefully put the shooter market back into place because in my opinion shooters outside of the battlefields have been largely disappointing.
COD is for campers (campers who stays to shitty games). Battlefield 3 is for real gamers, gamers that love realistic and goooooooood games
agreed, battlefield is a game where stratagy and skill is key. its also a game where if your running from a tank you cant simply just hide in a building because if your in a tank you can blow the building up. at this moment all i play online is bad co 2 when it comes to shooters for the main fact is that if you spawn up there is little chance you will get killed before you have a chance by a camped with no skill. i just hope that battlefront stays away from the cod style and stays with it own style that in my opinion was and still is awsome. to this day me and my 7 year old play battlefront 2 all the time because even though the graphics arent as good as the ps3 games on the market, its still alot more fun to play.
Modern Warfare 3 will suck, Battlefield 3 will rock your socks while Battlefront 3 will take you to a new world!
No need for all the hate here. Battlefield fans will buy Battlefield and COD fans will buy COD. They’ll enjoy both games, and both companies will make money. End of story.
Side issue, new twitter account username DougKoestler claims knowledge of a “trailer” due to late Sept. I have my doubts though. It seems a little sus.

He’s certainly tried to make it look legit.
hm we need to find out if this guys legit or just shitting on me…..
Did anyone see GameInformer’s BF3 Wish List:
http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/08/10/star-wars-battlefront-iii-wish-list.aspx
Yes, more articles like this should be posted, it builds up interest and market demand
plus they might know something and are getting paid to build interest?!?!?
Indeed! More of these articles at big sites as that… Developers must see it
Well, I guess I’ll just go back to using battlefront II mods from filefront for the next year…
There’s a lot to take in and consider there. I mean, with the yet-to-be-announced titles there’s possibility of anything. Though, the last “not confirming nor denying” quote didn’t give us what we wanted.
I have hope though, and do believe that BF3 will become a reality in our near future.
In agreemtn, the annoucement time, now is a bit rough with the hype of The Old Republic and Star Wars Kinect.
So, let us hope that after their release we hear Battlefront 3
What about Gamescom?
(I’m impatient) It’s been a long time since there was any significant news (leaked footage)…..
As for “hope”? I don’t know…Rainz point is solid, why announce a game in the middle of triple A titles? For those that are patient, wait…there could be announcement…in 6 months or a year after those mentioned release games…it could very well be that the announcement is just the beginning of development of the game…so wait time is increased (could be a quick development time,but no one here wants this game rushed)..
Lastly, I’ve repeatedly posted links on this site that shows other triple A titles working on sci-fi FPS/TPS shooters. There’s a youtube video of a Call of Duty 4 star wars mod. I also read an article on two domains that Infintiy Ward and Treyarch own now (www.futurerwarfare.com,www.sci-fiwarfare.com), just google this, the exact web domains escape me. I tied those two things together and I made a conclusion. That these so called Triple A publishers intend to flood the market with their abominations therefore by the time Lucas Arts to release Battlefront 3, it’ll be to no avail(or if Lucas Arts is deciding to develop the game, this might be the deciding factor..), simply because of the popularity of the those franchises/monopolies.

P.S I dont mean to offend anyone, I’m speaking my mind…sorry in advance :/
totally agree with you.
if we are to save the future of gaming, these publishers need to be destroyed!
Come Tyber Zann! To the speeders!!!!!!
we attack at dawn!
Expected response from them, they didn’t deny it though, nor did they deny that they weren’t working w/ LA.
I would agree that they wouldn’t announce it now, didn’t think of that, but makes sense. I wouldn’t say 5-6 though, I don’t know about you guys though, but I don’t expect SW Kinect to do too well, besides casual and family sales, I also expect Republic to do pretty good but not great. So because of these ok sales, hopefully we’ll get an announcement because of it.
And is there any word on Gamescom, or anyone hoping on that?
How can you say TOR will have “good” sales? They have millions of pre-orders already, and even more people will buy it afterwards.
u say it like this ” I also expect Republic to do pretty good but not great.”
Hell If I wasn’t going to be a first time tax filer, voter, musician college student, employee, driver, smart phone (hopefully) user, Xbox 360 buyer/player, as well as partial dependent for my parents/grandparents and their bills for a downgrade to an apartment from a 3 decker around the time TOR comes out.
