What’s LucasArts Working on? Open-World RPG?

LucasArts has posted a new job advertisment for a Gameplay Engineer (For an Open-World RPG)! Game Informer has a sneaky suspicion that it may Knights of the Old Republic 3! This is kind of exciting.. even though it is probably not Battlefront 3, a Knights of the Old Republic 3 would kick some serious ass.

From Game Informer:

“Could LucasArts finally be delivering the single-player sequel to the Knights of the Old Republic so many Star Wars fans have been clamoring for?

The two Knights of the Old Republic games left some narrative threads dangling and many questions unanswered. Most importantly, what was the unknown threat that Revan set out to face in the Outer Rim after defeating Darth Malak and destroying the Star Forge?

LucasArts creative director Clint Hocking, whom you may remember from such Ubisoft titles as Splinter Cell and Far Cry 2, recently tweeted that the company is hiring a gameplay engineer for an “open-world RPG.” Could this be the long anticipated KOTOR revival?”

Thanks to our forum moderator spartan64, for the link!

In other news Spark Unlimited has been posting some more questions and answers, but unfortunately, not many of them our giving us too many answers.

QUESTION: are you able to inform us who the publisher is of the unanounced project? – Jacob

ANSWER: To disclose the publisher would be tantamount to revealing the game. Since the publisher (who controls all sales and marketing information) wants to manage “the reveal”, they will also remain “unannounced” at this time.

Lets hear you opinions!! Be sure to check out our new Twitter feed as well @ http://twitter.com/#!/Battlefront3net

    guys in LA’s job descriptions they have jobs for an RPG(Possibly KOTOR 3 or TOR) an aerial combat title(rogue squadron?, maybe another Secret Weapons over Normandy, or maybe a video game for their new movie “Red Tails”) and a first person shooter(BF3, RC2)

      Well, Fantasy Flight Games announced Star Wars… Maybe it’s new SW flight game? And there is also an action/adventure title. It is Kinect

      /huge and super-serious facepalm
      1. We know this already
      2. Just because it says “sequel” in the description next to “high-profile science fiction franchise” it does not mean that the game is SWBF3…

      • Emperor Palpatine says:

        Heres a facepalm for you
        1.They are making this sequel for a highly critical and awaiting audience meaning the game is known unofficially and it wasn’t announced earlier which left us(the fans or the highly critical audience being too much curious or worried about what had happened to this game.) This is no doubt SWBF3 :) .
        2.It is a well-known and high-profile science fiction franchise which is obviously star wars battlefront since it had such a huge popularity on xbox live or maybe PC and not to mention that it is the second most played video game on xbox live after halo.

        • Mimwing says:

          There are other high-profile science fiction franchises btw…
          And that is no real solid argument. Anyway, on a happier note, according to Spark Unlimited’s twitter:

          We under a strict NDA not to say anthing that reveals the product which would lessen the marketing plans or affect current products.

          “affect current products”? TOR anyone? :D

            You are correct about that there are existing high profile science fiction franchises other than battlefront but i can 100% assure you that it is BF3 since they are making a popular sequel people are waiting for a long time.It is terribly obvious that they are developing BF3, just name me one sci-fi game(other than SWBF3) that the gaming audience have been looking forward to a long time ago.

            @Emperor Palpatine
            Dont get your hopes up. It could very well be another Mass Effect or even star trek game for all we know! (dont tell me off for saying mass effect, only said it as an example)

            In other news: A Clone Apart is back! after about 5 years the red vs blue like mini-series for star wars battlefront 2 is back! and wtih style, illusive have remaastered the origional episodes in HD with new voices! anyone else remember it?

            @WhiteFire37
            Why should I bother about getting my hopes up? Because from what I’ve seen on Spark is pretty much related to BF3. But I acknowledge your point it could be something like alien vs. predator or maybe rogue trooper. However, the game they are working on is a POPULAR SEQUEL for a very popular franchise and what could it be other than SWBF3?. I mean seriously star wars battlefront wasnt all that popular, youve got to be kidding me. BTW, it is something like people have been dieing for, it is a TRIPLE-A GAME FOR AN AWAITING AND HIGHLY CRITICAL AUDIENCE MEANING THIS GAME WAS DISCUSSED AND TALKED ABOUT MANY TIMES. BTW, havent you seen the overwhelming hype and appreciation from numerous gaming websites like IGN etc. and fans about the leaked footage when it was first released. It was like being buzzed from all around the web just like Pandemic said.

    At least its something!
    The revival of old IP’s could mean, later on, the revival of battlefront 3!

      Hey Jakob!!
      I HOPE that this is a star wars game, If its Knights of the Old Republic III that would be cool, If it was Star Wars Republic Commando II that would be sweet, but if it was Star wars Battlefront III… I WOULD BE SO FREAKIN HAPPY :D

    honestly i am too excited, however i would rather play Battlefront 3 any day!
    I wouldv also love to see Republic Commando 2 because that was such a fantastic game that deserved a sequel! i was doing online and found a 32 vs 32 game!
    But Battlefront 3 will never be forgotten in my mind, wish lucasarts would just listen, and maybe this si that ‘big project’ spark was working on cause they said ‘they’ would be announig it! still SW:BF3 FTW!

    Couldn’t it be SW:TOR? And on my site I post some news and my opinion about this. Spark and LA have some the same jobs, especially, they have similar jobs about first-person shooter. LA have some games’ jenres, like aerial combat, open-world RPG, action/adventure and a First-person shooter. I really don’t know about RPG, but action/adventure is jenre of Kinect SW, aerial combat is made by Fantasy Flight Games. FPS could be RC2, BF3, or even JA4! And I think that RPG is TOR

      Aerial combat? Hopefully this means there will be another Rogue Squadron sequel…or maybe another X-wing. That would be exciting, but BF3 is still at the top of my list of hoped-for LA games.

    While this would be intriguing, There is an answer to what revan went to face on “The Old Republic website” in a video history. Even if it isn’t KOTOR 3 I’m sure I’ll most likely love it. Especially if it is star wars
