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.

Update: Anyway, Video Gamer has now found out that the “rumors of Rebellion doing the Battlefront III project aren’t wrong.” So of right now Rebellion is working on Star Wars Battlefront III.

Update 2: There are alot more screenshots

Original: In the past months retailers have hinted of this game being in development, after all there was that big mistake that Amazon had listed this game on there site. Now, it looks like an ex-Free Radical employee has apparently posted some renders for the “secret LucasArts project.”

According to the official site of Richard Smith, who is the ex-Free Radical employee, the “secret LucasArts project” is Star Wars: Battlefront III, and he even had pictures to prove it. But, sadly the pictures were removed faster then they appeared. But, lucky we were able to grab the renders before they did the hoodeney. The renders are models of Han Solo and Sahra The Bounty Hunter.
