Some interesting news from the frontlines that LucasArts will be revealing their new gaming franchise come this Thursday (May 31, 2012) on Spike TV. I’m not really sure what to expect here, as there is a lot of speculation that it will revolve around this new “1313″ we have been hearing about so much. In Tuggie’s recent update, he is speculating that this new game will be built to hype up the new TV series, “Underworld” which may possibly relove around smuggling and bounty hunters, which would of course would most likely include, the infamous Jango and Boba Fett. This is a neat theory which would have many possibilites in my opinion. Check out Tuggie’s new update below!
From Spike TV:
Calling all Jedi, Sith lords and Bounty Hunters! Spike TV and Lucasfilm today announced that the network will be airing all six of the “Star Wars” movies throughout Memorial Day weekend beginning tonight, Friday May 25 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The movie marathon airs just days before Spike TV’s plans to exclusively unveil the newest game franchise in the “Star Wars” universe, which will debut at the 2012 Electronic Entertainment Expo. A first look at this top secret project will be revealed on Thursday, May 31, as a part of the pre-E3 episode of Spike’s hit video game show “GTTV,” followed by the live world gameplay premiere of this new “Star Wars” franchise during the network’s “E3 All Access Live” primetime special on June 4 at 10:00 pm ET/7:00 pm PT.
I have also heard rumors that it may be Jedi Knight 3 or even Republic Commando 2 but at this point who knows. I think I am definitely in agreeance with Tuggie, that we will not be seeing Battlefront 3 this year as all of their effors will be centered towards their new IP.
Thoughts and opinions!
LucasArts set to Announce new Gaming Franchise on Spike,
I have a question, so is BFIII being made or not? I don’t want to hear this “not so sure yet” things, I mean are they actually making it or not.
That’s the question everyone has been trying to answer for the past seven years -.-
Why doesn’t some billionaire plunk down a wad of cash to finance what is clearly the best money making IP ever?
Battlefront 3 was cancelled back in 2008 because LucasArts didn’t want to spend any more money on its production. I’m pretty certain that the series is done for good.
no
Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 (and mysteries of the sith) was made inhouse, it’s sequels, Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy, were not.
Open world Bounty hunter/smuggling GTA style with BF3 easter eggs?!?!?! We can only dream….
im pumped for whatever it is and will get it once the game comes out if the reviews are good and i think that there should be a kick starter made for BF3 if LA wont make it
It is interesting how there is a lot of “Star Wars” franchise talk going about recently. A Jedi Knight 3 would be awesome, though I still have hope for a possible unveiling of Battlefront 3 this year. As you say, “who knows”, it’s anyone’s guess as to what it could be.
I personally don’t think that LucasArts will abondon such a crucial game in the franchise – BF1 and 2 were astoundingly big hits; BF3 must be lingering somewhere to follow in those footsteps, and even take larger ones.
Geez, it said “a new franchise”. It’s not going to be Commando Buddies 2 or BattleWorlds 3 or Jar Jar Adventures 8. NEW. As in NEW.
Hey guys,
I just wanted to say thanks for maintaining a vibrant community in the face of corporate desecration. Also, a big cheer to the editor of this website.
Thanks.
Matt
Tell me this: when does a holiday pass and Spike NOT show all the Star Wars movies over and over and over and over and over and over again? That’s nothing new.
That being said, I’m looking forward to this new IP, but I feel like BFIII will have to be a fan-made mod of a currently existing engine. I know some people are serious about using the UDK this summer to see what they can churn out in memory of Free Radical.
It’s actually pretty easy to figure out what this new game will be….just try to think about a game that has no entertainment or profit value, and more than likely, that is the game that LA is making. I have already boycotted LA, The last LA game that I purchased was The Force Unleashed 1, and that will more than likely be the last game as well since LA has no interest in giving their fans what they want.
Lucas Arts doesn’t care that youre boycotting them, obviously.
Lucas Arts have previously said they are rebooting old ips and tuggie said it this game could be used to hype Underworld. Anyone else think that this new game will be “Star Wars Bounty Hunter 2″?
Bounty Hunter 2(or its spiritual successor) could be sick! if it had an open world(universe) like the mass effect games running around being a the badass Boba Fett could be fun. Still want to see SWBF3 but this could be a good game to help with the wait
