So it's official today boys, EA has picked up the license for Star Wars Battlefront 3. If any of you were like me as a child, Battlefront 2 was the reason you never left the house. The official article is here:
EA has announced a deal with Disney to publish future Star Wars games. As announced today, the two companies have established "a new multi-year exclusive licensing agreement to develop and publish globally new games based on Star Wars characters and storylines."
According to the announcement, EA "will develop and publish new Star Wars titles for a core gaming audience, spanning all interactive platforms and the most popular game genres, while Disney will retain certain rights to develop new titles within the mobile, social, tablet and online game categories."
DICE and Visceral will produce new games, joining the BioWare team which continues to develop for the Star Wars franchise.
According to EA Labels president Frank Gibeau, three studios are already working on Star Wars games: Battlefield developer DICE, Dead Space developer Visceral and Mass Effect developer BioWare.
Every developer dreams of creating games for the Star Wars universe, Gibeau said. Three of our top studios will fulfill that dream, crafting epic adventures for Star Wars fans. DICE and Visceral will produce new games, joining the BioWare team which continues to develop for the Star Wars franchise. The new experiences we create may borrow from films, but the games will be entirely original with all new stories and gameplay.
In a blog post on EA's official site, Gibeau confirmed that the new projects will be powered by "the Frostbite 3 development engine guaranteeing incredible graphic fidelity, environments and characters."
This agreement demonstrates our commitment to creating quality game experiences that drive the popularity of the Star Wars franchise for years to come, added Disney co-president John Pleasants. Collaborating with one of the worlds premier game developers will allow us to bring an amazing portfolio of new Star Wars titles to our fans around the world.
Specific financial terms of the agreement have not been disclosed.
Earlier this year, internal Star Wars development studio LucasArts laid off its staff, shifting to a licensing model and suspending announced projects including star Wars 1313.
Previously, EA published BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic. On its official site, EA added "we have lots of ideas, but we want to hear from you. Tell us what kind of games you want to play. Send us your suggestions and tag @EA_DICE @VisceralGames @BioWare and #starwarsnextgen."

TL;DR, it will be running on the same engine that Battlefield 4 will, since it is DICE. Basically, the best game ever.
For those that haven't seen the most recent footage of Battlefront 3, time to crawl out from under the rock you've been living in:
So what are your thoughts TTG? I'll try to keep this updated as more is revealed ^_^

I've been wanting a BF3 for years. I remember playing 1 and 2 all day on my PS2. If it does end up on the FrostBite engine, it'll look amazing and the way a Star Wars game should look.
More on that later....

Agreed, let's just hope that EA doesn't really mess up the servers like they have a knack for doing. The Battlefront 2 servers on Steam are still very solid, hopefully they'd be similar.

It's nice to see so many different gaming cooperation's come together and agree on something for once. Instead of the usual arguing, comparing, and the occasional court case.
This truly is great news and I can't wait to see some more gameplay footage. Someone here posted some Battlefront 3 gameplay and it looked incredible.
