This LucasArts Press Release (thanks Frans) has word of the completion of development of Star Wars Battlefront, and that the PC, Xbox, and PS2 editions of Pandemic's Star Wars action shooter are slated to be available on September 21, coinciding with the release of the DVD editions of the first three Star Wars movies (there's a countdown to release on the Star Wars Battlefront Website). Here's the story on the game:

Star Wars Battlefront is an intense open-ended single player and multiplayer action game set in the Star Wars universe that puts fans and gamers in the heat of the action as they re-live all of the epic battles from the classic and prequel eras. In the game, console and PC players can choose intense free-form multiplayer combat or a variety of robust single player modes including “Historical Campaigns” and “Galactic Conquest.”

Hrm, I have to agree with waiting. I am very excited about the concept, and even when first playing BF1942, thought to myself, Star Wars could SO SO benefit from this engine. Then they announced it. Hrmf. Anyway...back at the hall of justice...(weird warping noise)..we look up on the screen all to notice that the BF engine is great, but it's never been fine tuned, and can still be a problem, after all, it's a beast that got created, and they can't tame it. Add in nice neon lazer gun firing across your screen, and well, it changes the game play drastically here. So..like it was said..I'll wait with the rest of you, as much as I hate too, and would like this game to rock, releasing it on the samne day as DVD release seems suspicious of over-hype/add some marketing to help it scenario which bothers me. Here's Hoping!
