Game development can be a touchy thing. With budgets, deadlines, and legal mumbo-jumbo to consider, there are a lot of games with immense promise that end up disappearing before they ever see the light of day. Here are ten of the most exciting projects that got cancelled before we ever got to play them.
Is Star Wars Battlefront 3 coming? Well, the correct answer is yes, no and maybe. It’s been six years since the second instalment, and fans are still waiting for confirmation of another sequel.
Game companies are not mature enough to handle this concept without turning it into a casino.
The remakes of battlefront should have been more simular to the originals. CoD/battlefield reskinned as Star Wars was not the anwser.
Someone has just revealed images proving that there was supposed to be a Star Wars Battlefront III for PSP.
Oh yea battlefront games were on the psp weren't they? And force unleashed as well. Great "handheld" versions those were.
Battlefront III in PSP is just Elite Squadron, was never cancelled. The start up menu is even the same same with X1 and X2.
Clever Star Wars fans have uncovered yet another piece of Free Radical's Star Wars: Battlefront 3, exploring the game's tutorial level.
After all these years, Free Radical's SWBF2 is still the best overall Star Wars game to me. It had everything you could want in big fun team battles, Jedi vs Sith and the space battles were extremely well done giving you the ability to land inside a capital ship's hangar to sabotage and take it down from within.
Free Radical didn’t make Star Wars Battlefront 2. The long defunct Pandemic Games developed the original Battlefront 2.
Thank you sir, I appreciate the correction. Pandemic also developed Mercenaries I believe, right? That game too is a classic!
I wish that IP would make a return. The original was better but its the second one had its moments. You could pretty much level anything in those games if you had the right armaments.
This is just Battlefront Elite Squadron. Cancelling it was the right move, very few changes to Battlefront 3 except for a new forgettable campaign.
I absolutely agree that BC was one of the most "promising" canceled games. It was almost hard to imagine a game with that level of scale coupled with some of the most striking visuals we had seen from that console generation.
There were a couple murmurs floating around about bringing BC to the Xbox360, but that was all we heard <sigh>.
too bad ubisoft canceled this

I would loved to see Harker released that game looked bad ass. I still look forward for a Black 2 and killer instinct3.
Sonic Xtreme. The only 3d Sonic that looked like it would get 3d done right.
Sadness never even made it into game form. It was a barely more than a concept that was going nowhere and went nowhere.
Propeller Arena for the Dreamcast. Canceled after the 9/11 attacks because of dogfights in city and skyscraper settings. I really wanted to play that one to revisit the blast I had playing Wing War in the Arcades.
