Pandemic, who was the developer behind the original Star Wars: Battlefront title, has denied picking up the third installment of the Battlefront series from Free Radical, who was originally working on the third game.

“As of right now I can say Battlefront III is not currently at Pandemic,” a company spokesperson confirmed to members on its forums. “While I know the title seems to be up in the air from all the buzz around the web… LucasArts will be the only one knowing where the title is at right now.”

Free Radical, last year, lost its deal with LucasArts after very public money problems, and when it got acquired and re-branded by Crytek into Crytek UK.
