Years ago, word of Star Wars: Battlefront 3 - a sequel to the LucasArts series of the early 2000s - leaked out of TimeSplitters studio Free Radical. Today, a SteamDB listing revealed the existence of Battlefront 3 in the Steam's back-end, suggesting that EA was bringing back the never-released title for modern players. The only problem is that the listing was completely fake. The listing for 'STAR WARS™ Battlefront III (Classic. 2019)' showed up in a selection of unknown Steam EULAs scraped by SteamDB developer Pavel Djundik. The document itself referenced a 'Haze Studios', but no such game developer appears to exist. Free Radical - also referenced in the EULA - did, however, develop a game called Haze. (Korn tells me it's 'the shit'.) It was just enough to get fans to put on their detective hats, but they did so with one important caveat - anybody can upload things to Steam under any title. And yeah, sure enough, that's what happened here. SteamDB added a staff comment saying "this is fake and not official", and shortly after, the application listing was updated to the title 'Unity App Student Project'. With, er, a picture of Joe Biden as cover art.
