'Star Wars: Battlefront 3' Release Date: New Game Arriving Mid-2015?

Developed by EA Digital Illusions CE and published by Electronic Arts, Star Wars: Battlefront 3 is an action video game anticipated for release mid-2015. It will have versions for PC, PS4 and Xbox One only, which means that PS3 and Xbox 360 owners who want to play the game will have to invest in another game console, or will have to stick with the PC version.

Electronic Arts acquired exclusive rights to the game in May 2013, alongside its subsidiaries Visceral Games, DICE and BioWare. However, they did not brand it as a sequel to the previous Battlefront games, but a "reboot" of the series, which hints that although the game will be incorporating some elements from the previous games, it will be significantly different.

A year and a month after in June 2014, the developers of the game revealed in a press conference that some of the playable maps will include the planet Moth and the moon endor.

Meanwhile, EA Games producer Patrick Soderlund explained that the new game will not be in any way related to the Star Wars: Episode VII movie.

He said, "What we're building is more rooted in traditional Star Wars Universe and not so much linked to the movies being made. Obviously, there will be things in there that are somewhat tied to the new movie."
