Canceled Star Wars: Battlefront 3 Images Appear Online
Star Wars: Battlefront 3 is a cursed title, one that many fans have hoped for twice now and never received. While DICE’s recent Star Wars: Battlefront 2 started off on shaky ground, the hard work of the developer originally tuned it around, but by all reports, Star Wars: Battlefront 3 is not in development. Even the original series of Battlefront games didn’t get to count to 3.
In 2006, rumors emerged that Battlefront 3 was in development at Free Radical design, and these rumors were eventually proven true. Come 2008, however, the developer had lost the right to develop the game. Years later, Free Radical design co-founder Steve Ellis would say that the game was near completion when it was canceled in 2008. Some screenshots, footage, and renders of this game would eventually make its way online, but nothing of too much substance. Now, a Redditor claims to have a PSP copy of this canceled Star Wars: Battlefront 3 game.

Redditor MissFeepit claims that a relative of their fiance had Lucasarts as a client way back when, which sounds dubious, but there is photo evidence (as seen below) of this PSP game. Their fiance, a young teenager at the time, managed to get their hands on this when it was accidentally left behind by LucasArts. Star Wars: Battlefront 3 assets and materials were being moved to Skywalker Ranch after its cancellation, but one fell behind and he happened to pick it up.
Star Wars: Battlefront 3’s AI battles, CTF, and Conquest modes all work fine, according to this Redditor, potentially supporting Ellis’ 2008 comments. Obviously, this was a big deal for the Star Wars and gaming community, as this game never truly saw the light of day. MissFeepit
