THQ just dropped a sweet bomb on us with a teaser announcement of a brand new
Star Wars Battlefront game for the mobile platform.
Fans of the
Battlefront series should be particularly excited since the series was essentially defunct once developer Pandemic was bought up by EA - removing its option to license property from LucasFilm. Fortunately Mikoishi is still here to keep the franchise alive for pocket gamers.
We saw a
Star Wars Battlefront Mobile game way back in 2005, and although we don't have many details on apparent sequel
Star Wars Battlefront: Mobile Squadrons, the title suggests something of a crossbreed between the
Battlefront FPS action and possibly the strategic fighting/multiplayer of the recent
Clone Wars game, also from THQ Wireless.
The teaser picture we've seen shows Count Dooku, the Emperor and Yoda all brandishing their Lightsabers, with Princess Leia alongside - suggesting a journey through all episodes, one to six, with a degree of online action built into the game.
We'll have to wait for some firmer details, but we definitely feel a disturbance in the Force. Keep a close eye out for more
Star Wars Battlefront: Mobile Squadrons news as we get it.

I hope there's _some_ kind of online-oriented gameplay in here as well. While the previous Battlefront Mobile didn't offer any real-time online gameplay, what was there was still quite satisfying. It's the thought that matters :)
