Here is what I can see as a possible future of the Battlefront Franchise.
Just to let you know this is Part Fact, part personal Opinion!!
Free Radical Sold to Crytek and is now working on an AAA Project
Companies that close and have another studios IP Usually keep the Core Material (3d Models, Game Engines and Source code) to modify later. But do not keep the Core Assets that make that game unique for example (Character Models, Certain Animations, Sounds of weapons {Such as light sabers and Blasters}, etc.)

Ex-Free Radicial Employee says Free Radical Battle Front 3 never Coming out
We know he was one of the 200 employees that was Laid off by Crytek but we don't know if he ever stepped foot inside the New Crytek studio.
They might be working on battle front 3 with an new Engine aka the Cryengine 3.5 and Making it just as awesome!
The Cryengine 3 is an Great Engine as far as i can see. Allot of Great Mods have and are being made with the Cry engine 2 and they look awesome!

I could imagine the Cryengine 3 being the Game engine for Battlefront 3
I hope we find out at the VGAs that Crytek is developing Battle front 3
