In 2006, rumors mentioned the possibility that Star Wars Battlefront 3 was being developed at Free Radical Design, and those rumors ultimately turned out to be true.
Star Wars Battlefront 3 was obviously very close to the end of development when it was discontinued in 2008. Years later Steve Ellis, co-founder of Free Radical Design, confirmed this information. We can therefore hypothesize, without much difficulty, that a version of said game has gotten into someone’s hands.
A Reddit user holds a version of the Star Wars game
The user Reddit MissFeepit explains that she is holding a version of the game on her PSP:
(I also attached a photo)
Lucasarts was a customer of my fiancé’s relative at the time and he was able to test many games including Star Wars: Battlefront III after it was discontinued and all the assets were brought together to be returned to Skywalker Ranch. One of the test cassettes for the PSP version was left behind. Since he was young, he didn’t pay attention to it and took it home, tested it, AI, CTF and Conquest battles worked well.
Years later when he was rummaging through his old games he found it and as far as we know he has the only copy of the canceled Star Wars game as we can’t find any others online.
We’re honestly curious what it might be worth, it should still work fine, there are no scratches or damage to the game itself.
Obviously, this story needs to be taken with a pinch of salt, but if true, it’s still quite compelling. Especially since in the Reddit talk we can find several photos of the console and the “game”. So true story or pure speculation to sell a scam? Hard to say until no one else is holding the console or the game.
QWhat do you think of this story? To says us in Remarks.
