Battlefront III moves developers - first renders revealed

According to Videogamer.com, Oxford based developer Rebellion, known for such titles as Call of Duty World at War for PS2 and Star Wars: Battlefront Renegade Squadron for PSP, will be taking over for recently deceased studio Free Radical on the upcoming Star Wars action strategy title Star Wars: Battlefront III.

Richard Smith, a former employee of Free Radical, has posted some of the first renders he modeled for Star Wars Battlefront III on his blog which include such characters as Han Solo and Sahra The Bounty Hunter. Keep in mind the renders are dated back to 2007 and are nearly two years old.

There is still no official confirmation from either studio on the titles development status, however we know at least Battlefront III was one of the unannounced titles Free Radical had in the works outside of TimeSplitters 4. Stay tuned for more information.

    The last two versions were pretty good but they needed a facelift and some gameplay changes.  Hopefully, this version will improve on it all.

    Oh my god, I'VE WAITED 5 YEARS FOR THIS!!!!! I know SWBF2 came out, but I really preffered the 1st, it was more solid and colourful. I didnt think the character models could be so good though, but clearly they can, hopefully pandemic and lucasarts will jump in, especially pandemic, they are great with star wars games!! I hope they aim to make it realistic, SWBF2 was way too fast, and LOTR conquest is an even better example as the demo sucks and the special powers are annoying and I hate it when your sword hits an enemy and has that unrealistic flash. SWBF3 had best be made as real as possible
