As time has passed, the internet has slowly learned more about Free Radical's cancelled Battlefront 3 project. The idea was to expand upon Battlefront 2's grand battles, allowing a seamless transition from space dogfighting to ground combat.
Free Radical's efforts were eventually canned though, after a change in LucasArts leadership. But while it doesn't feature a full space to ground transition, the final mission of DICE's Battlefront echoes some of the spirit of the cancelled project.
When a project got cancelled it used to be dead, never to see the light of day ever again. And that was the fate that once befell Star Wars: Battlefront 3. But a group of fans have been steadily working on wedging as many assets from the cancelled shooter into a Battlefront 2 mod, and it's looking pretty fun.
And if you needed another reminder of where the Battlefront series could have gone, here's some footage of the abandoned project's training mission.
For years fans of the Star Wars: Battlefront series have been bemoaning the loss of the rumoured canceled third instalment of the game. Mod team turned full-fledged developer Frontwire Studios is creating their own version of the game, and they say Valve is prepared to distribute it for free on Steam.
