Star Wars Battlefront 3 was 99% Finished says Free Radical Co-founder

Star Wars Battlefront 3 is a game many gamers want to play, and according to the Free Radical co-founder Steve Ellis, the game was pretty much complete before it was cancelled.

In a interview with gamesTM magazine-

“It felt like we had turned a corner as a company,” explained Ellis. “We had had a dark period during the development of Haze, we’d had problems with our tech and we’d had some growing pains as we expanded to the size we needed to be, but it really felt like we were finally coming out of the other side intact.

“We were making a game with very high ambition. You could start a battle on the ground, jump into a ship and fly into space, continuing on to dock in a capital ship and continue the battle there. We’d had to build all kinds of new tech and overcome numerous technical challenges and limitations but we had done it.

“We had a 99% finished game that just needed bug fixing for release. It should have been our most successful game, but it was cancelled for financial reasons. I’m happy that people did at least get to see what we were working on and share the team’s enthusiasm for it.”

I really wish somebody would pick this game up. I am a huge fan of the Star Wars Battlefront games. Star Wars Battlefront 3 would have been amazing to play at the time.
