Good afternoon my fellow Battlefrontians! Some interesting and great news on the Battlefront.. it looks like EA is expanding and opening up a brand new office in Los Angelas for the Battlefield developers of DICE!

Well Battlefrontians, here you have it. It looks like Electronic Arts have been selected as the lucky ducks who get to represent the future of the Star Wars gaming industry. First thing that came to my mind when I thought about EA was that whole Sim City debacle where it basically flopped.. lets hope that [...]
So here we are, LucasArts has been officially put to rest by Disney. Very interesting. I must admit, I really didn’t see that coming but some people are saying it’s for the best, while others are simply pissed off at Disney for shutting them down and cancelling everything that they had in development. I guess [...]
After 31 years LucasArts has come to a close.

Today they have posted 2 video [...]
Yesterday, Kotaku.com: I also wanted to touch base on a new partnership between Battlefront3.net and Gloom Walkers! Gloom Walkers was initially run by our old partner in crime Tuggie. When Tuggie retired, Gloom Walkers was resurrected under new administration. We are happy to resume our partnership which will bring some fantastic video reviews! I will [...]

Hi Battlefrontians, last year I stared work on a complete Infographic timeline including all Star Wars: Battlefront 3 news, rumors and tidbits since 2006 and have finally got around to finishing it up. If I have forgotten anything or if anyone has anything else to add, just let me know. Enjoy!
Well Battlefrontians, it looks like Battlefront 3 isn’t the only game that’s getting the shaft. Kotaku.com is reporting that their “sources” have stated that Star Wars: 1313 has been put on hold. Three unrelated sources familiar with game development at LucasArts have all told us that development on the game has been frozen or put [...]

It looks like we finally have news of the director of the Star Wars: Episode VII! J. J. Abrams, the same director who brought us the 2009 Star Trek film and it’s sequel, will be taking on the job. I quite enjoyed the 2009 Star Trek film, it was definitely a lot darker then any [...]
