Last night, footage of an unannounced Star Wars RTSย game leaked onto the internet. Theย footage features gameplay of ships like the Millennium Falcon and characters such as Luke Skywalker inย huge battles on Tatooine.
Originally uploaded to Vimeo (which has since been removed), the footage was uploaded by someoneย claiming to be Elise Baldwin, an ex-EA audio director who worked on EAโs Sims series. She claims thatย she did some work on the Star Wars RTSย game that the footage is of.

Even though it has been taken down off of Vimeo,ย you can find various copies of the footage on YouTube and other parts of the internet.ย The description of the video says the unannounced game was in development for over a year andย changed platforms/engines a few times. It was to feature a simulation made and tactical combat mode.ย The footage shows off the tactical combat mode.
It might be that this game is canceled or becameย something else.ย Recently it was announced that Titanfall developer Respawn Entertainment was working on a Star Warsย game. It is unlikely that this is that game. Another Battlefront to feature maps of the new movies is alsoย rumored to be in the works, set to release next year. EA Games also recently announced that they planย on releasing one new Star Wars game a year for the next few years.

Battlefront has split fans and critics alike. Some were disappointed with the amount of content, just toย have a $50 season pass. People are curious what the future of Star Wars games holds. This footageย could still be a game in the works, thus it being quickly removed. Only time will tell, but expect moreย information on games in the franchise this E3 in June during the EA Games Press Conference.
