The Battlefront series represents a collection of video games that are based within the Star Wars galaxy. This game presents itself as a first-person/third-person shooter, providing gamers with the opportunity to embody soldiers fighting for opposing factions across various eras of the Star Wars storyline. Pandemic Studios was responsible for creating the initial pair of games, while EA Digital Illusions CE took charge of the revamped series.
Even as Free Radical encountered difficulties in making Battlefront III functional, the artistic designers had already started creating resources for a subsequent Battlefront installment, IV, after dedicating over two years to Battlefront III. Content planned for inclusion in IV encompassed a Jedi incarnation of Darth Maul and a dark side counterpart of Luke Skywalker.
