The platforms for Star Wars Battlefront are also known: The game will be released for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
Story campaign spans 30 years – You play an Imperial Elite warrior
There will be a story mode. It follows Iden Versio, the leader of Inferno Squad. This is an elite unit of the Empire. The story will lead from the Battle of Endor to the rise of the First Order.
The story of the single-player campaign will span 30 years. Numerous great characters from the Star Wars universe will be part of the campaign, it is said.
Multiplayer mode includes up to 40 players
There will also be a multiplayer mode: The battles are set to take place across all three cinematic eras of Star Wars history. Up to 40 players will clash in the battles.
On the game’s website, EA talks about a “class-based online gameplay with a rewarding progression system and a large arsenal of weapons that are supposed to be modifiable.”
There will likely be four trooper classes:
- Officer
- Assault
- Heavy
- Specialist
It should be possible to drive both land and air vehicles. This time there will also be space battles. They were missing in Star Wars Battlefront. Space battles are supposed to accommodate up to 24 players.
Additionally, you can also ride Tauntauns – those are the creatures where Luke Skywalker sleeps when he is cold.
The great heroes and villains are present
The list of heroes and villains that are supposed to appear in Star Wars Battlefront 2 currently includes:
- Luke Skywalker
- Darth Sidious
- Darth Maul
- Yoda
- Kylo Ren
- Rey
- and some others are expected to come.
These heroes will also be playable in multiplayer, which will be significantly expanded compared to its predecessor. In some modes, it will be possible to use heroes and villains from all three eras against each other and together.
Star Wars Battlefront is a reboot of an older shooter series from 2004/2005.
The first “new” installment was released in 2015. Fans mainly criticized the lack of space battles (“Star Wars without Star Wars”) and the absence of a single-player campaign.
The first Star Wars Battlefront received four DLCs – it can be assumed that Star Wars Battlefront 2 will also be significantly supported with DLCs.
