LucasArts have released <a href="http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/050421/215125.html">This information</a> regarding the next <i>Star Wars Battlefront</i> game.

<i>

Star Wars Battlefront II takes the best-selling Star Wars video game of all time one Imperial-walker step forward with all-new space combat, playable Jedi, and never-before-seen environments straight out of the Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith film. Fans of the original Star Wars Battlefront will also enjoy an all-new single-player experience that takes players through an epic, story-based saga where every action the player takes impacts the battlefront and, ultimately, the fate of the Star Wars galaxy. Critically acclaimed Pandemic Studios is once again developing the game for LucasArts.


"The original was a huge success for LucasArts and we plan to build on that success to make Star Wars Battlefront II exceed what we did for the first game in every measurable way," said John Geoghegan, Vice President of Global Marketing and Sales, LucasArts. "For Star Wars Battlefront, we joined forces with our colleagues at Lucasfilm to launch the game day-and-date with the Classic trilogy on DVD. Star Wars Battlefront II's campaign will be even bigger, including promotions with major national partners, as well as unprecedented in-store support."

It is slated for a Q3 2005 release.

Just another Star Wars game that won't be missed 3 weeks after release.

Jedi Knight 2? Knights of the Old Republic? They were both very good star wars games.

Battlefront did suck though.

BF2:starwars then?

and "slated for Q3 2005" is the right word, as this will probably be slated in reviews. 1st one suffered from "x-box-o-vision(tm)" - ie just being a console game converted for PC use, and ergo naff.
