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.
