The future of the Star Wars: Battlefront series has long been in question. Simply named Star Wars: Battlefront Online, it was claimed to be in early pre-production. The evidence tallies with a Kotaku report from January 2010 stating that the SOCOM developer was working on an online-only Battlefront game. 'The wreckage of a downed Victory Class Star Destroyer is the setting for one of the first battles over Echo Base and the future of the Rebellion hangs in the balance.'
'It is the morning of the Imperial assault on the Rebel base on Hoth,' reads a chunk of text viewable on the concept art. A character model showing Luke in his orange pilot jumpsuit is also viewable. The data (uncovered by BetaGames and posted on NeoGAF) contains in-progress artwork for a Hoth level, hidden in a folder named 'Luke'. Resident Evil: Raccoon City developer Slant Six was working on a Star Wars: Battlefront sequel, according to hidden files unearthed on Raccoon City's disc.
