A magnificent trailer has been released for the story campaign of Star Wars: Battlefront 2. In it, you will see the imperial hero Iden Versio as well as numerous epic moments from the game. Goosebumps are guaranteed!
Star Wars: Battlefront 2 will finally offer a solo campaign in the Star Wars universe again. That alone is extremely cool. But instead of playing as the Rebels, you can finally fight on the side of the Empire. This was only possible recently in the ancient TIE Fighter from the ’90s and partially in The Force Unleashed.
In Battlefront 2, you embody the imperial elite soldier Iden Versio, whom you will get to know better in the new story trailer.
Iden Versio – Space badass like Commander Shepard!
Right at the beginning of the new story trailer, you see Versio fleeing from a rebel ship and cheekily saluting the bewildered resistance fighters before she catapults herself out of an airlock in the best space badass manner.
This already makes quite an impression, and the trailer continues strongly. You see how Versio witnesses the second Death Star exploding along with the Emperor, whom she admires so much.
Iden takes a cruel revenge on the Rebels, whose ships and troops are mostly on the losing side in the rest of the trailer. X-Wings are smashed, rebel troops are blown up, and AT-ATs occupy Naboo.
Reunion with many Star Wars icons
Even famous Star Wars icons cross Versio’s path. The Millennium Falcon is fired upon by TIEs, Princess Leia appears in holograms, and the previously known Maz Kanata from Episode VII makes an appearance. Even Luke Skywalker is threatened by Versio with a blaster.
But Iden Versio also seems to have a hard time. In one scene, she has to loudly assert herself as a commander to be heard. At another time, she clashes with her father – an admiral and her superior.
Jürgen’s conclusion:
Wow! I am a hardcore Star Wars fan eagerly awaiting the new story mode, but since the new trailer, I am even more impatient! Just these few minutes make me totally crave for more, and I can already see Iden Versio as a kind of new Shepard in the Star Wars look. Especially since I can finally play the Empire again! I have missed that since the legendary TIE Fighter!
