It's no secret that EA and DICE's take on Star Wars: Battlefront was a disappointment for longtime fans. Even when you ignore the blatant advertising for the game's $50 Season Pass, EA's Battlefront just doesn't feel like a Battlefront game.
The class system was completely watered down, there were barely any maps to choose from, and only a few modes ever came close to the same scale as the original Battlefront games. It's not a bad game on its own — but EA's Battlefront doesn't live up to its predecessors.
That's why a group of dedicated Star Wars fans are taking matters into their own hands: Star Wars: Galaxy in Turmoil, developed by Frontwire Studios, is meant to fill the void that the Free Radical-developed and tragically-canceled Battlefront III left behind.
Not much is known about the project at this point, save for Frontwire's promise to bring the original Battlefront experience back to gamers — but given what the team has shown off so far, Galaxy in Turmoil definitely has a lot of potential.
Hopefully, EA and Disney won't have any trouble with a free, downloadable game ... but only time will tell. In the meanwhile, you can download the latest build of Star Wars: Galaxy in Turmoil from Frontwire Studios' ModDB page.
