Star Wars Battlefront 3 Revealed by Amazon.com, Listings Promptly Removed

6
Listings for the rumored third entry in the battlefield-focused Star Wars Battlefront briefly appeared at retailer Amazon.com yesterday, and were promptly removed after garnering media attention.

The pages specified PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS and PSP versions of the title, all tentatively slated for release in March 2009.

The first two Battlefront games on PC, PS2 and Xbox were developed by Pandemic Studios. Rebellion handled the PSP edition of Battlefront II and the PSP-only Renegade Squadron entry.

With Pandemic currently working on at least three separate titles--Mercenaries 2, Lord of the Rings: Conquest, Saboteur--another studio is believed to be handling the third Battlefront game. Some speculate that Rebellion has been tasked with the game, while Kotaku suggests it will be helmed by TimeSplitters and Haze developer Free Radical.

    I am still upset that SW:BF was on the shelves a whopping six months or so before SW:BF2 came out.

    Didn't we have one or two battles with it? Yeah, that's all I got out of it. :(
