Star Wars: Battlefront 3 News: Game to Be Inspired by Original 'Star Wars' Trilogy
Fans of the Star Wars games and movies have been waiting for a glimpse of Star Wars: Battlefront 3, and now, EA and DICE have finally given a few spoilers of what can be expected of the game.
According to Moviepilot, the game is in full production and developers are currently testing the game and sharing impressions of Battlefront 3 online. One developer reportedly said that the famous Mos Eisley Cantina will be featured in the game. Another said that he had fun "playing around in the snow," which means that the icy planet Hoth from "The Empire Strikes Back" will also be featured in the game. It was also announced at EA's E3 2014 conference that the moon Endor would be one of the playable maps in the game.
The game will not be set in the new "Star Wars" universe, but will reportedly draw inspiration from the original "Star Wars" trilogy. A Lucasfim representative confirmed to Gamespot that future game releases will be canonical.
Several assault troops will be featured in the game: Assault Droids, ARC Troopers, Shock Troopers, and Rebel Vanguard. There are also several sniper combats: Rebel Markman, Clone Sharpshooter, Scout Trooper and Sniper Droid. Finally, there will also be soldiers: Super-Battle Droid, Clone Troopers, Storm Troopers, and Rebel Soldiers.
According to DICE, the game will have "more high resolution weapons in this title than you have seen in the earlier version."
"Star Wars: Battlefront 3" is scheduled for release in mid-2015 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The game is the third main entry in the Battlefront series, and the first since 2005's "Star Wars: Battlefront 2."
