LucasArts Exec Hints at New Battlefront Title
Brushes off suggestion of a Monkey Island sequel.
by Susan Arendt, 08/24/2006
CVG has posted an interview with Peter Hirschmann, president of Product Development over at LucasArts. Hirschmann, who seems like a pretty swell guy, chats amiably about Lego Star Wars, Xbox Live Arcade, and the hottest archaeologist evar (sorry, Lara), Indiana Jones.
While he brushes off the obligatory request for a new Monkey Island game with a "Yeah, yeah, I get it, you heart Guybrush," he's a bit more open on the subject of a new Battlefront title. "[Battlefront is] a great game-I play it every weekend with my son," he says. "I think there's a great future with the Battlefront franchise and I'm sure we'll be talking about that, er, sometime."
While "er, sometime" isn't exactly the hard and fast deadline Battlefront fans might have been hoping for, it's at least better than "er, never."
