There’s little question thatTimeSplittersdeveloper Free Radical Design was working on the unannouncedStar Wars: Battlefront III. After the success of the first two titles (developed by Pandemic), it was a no-brainer, andrumors have suggestedthat the Nottingham, England-based developer was on board for number three.

Recent rumors point to Rebellion having picked up duties for the title’s final touches, having previousStar Warsexperience with the PlayStation Portable port ofBattlefront II.
