Two new Star Wars: Battlefront games have been discovered. Before you get too excited though; they're just handheld entries.
Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron is headed to DS and PSP, according to this listing on the ESRB website.
The two titles come in the form of third-person action games highlighting battles from the Star Wars universe. Nothing to do with the now-infamous home console version originally in development at Free Radical then.
Here are the full listings from the ESRB (thanks Kotaku):
Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron Platform: PSP Rating: Teen Content descriptors: Fantasy Violence Rating summary: "This is an action game in which players experience different battles from the Star Wars universe. Presented in a third-person perspective, the game allows players to engage in space, land, and air battles or build troops and upgrade armies in a strategy-based mode. Players can use laser guns (i.e., blasters), explosives, and lightsabers to destroy enemy robots (i.e., droids) and humans who often cry out in pain when attacked. During one dramatic cutscene sequence, an unarmed man is sliced by a lightsaber, while another character is shot in the back with a blaster."
Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron Platform: Nintendo DS Rating: Everyone 10+ Content descriptors: Fantasy Violence Rating summary: " Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron is an action adventure game in which players experience different battles from the Star Wars universe. From a third-person perspective, players engage in space battles, 'speeder bike' chases, and top-down battling. The ground battle includes constant laserfire combined with hand-to-hand combat using 'lightsabers.' A depleting health bar and various "yelps" indicate damage inflicted upon certain characters."
