The online shooter Star Wars Battlefront 2 will have a single-player campaign. First insights and an introduction of the characters can be found in a “Behind the Scenes” video: This time the heroes are on the side of the Empire.
This weekend is all about Disney. The Disney D23 Expo 2017 is taking place in Anaheim, California. Since 2012, Star Wars has been part of Disney, so there is now information on “Star Wars Battlefront 2.”
EA shows a “Behind the Scenes Look” into the campaign of Star Wars Battlefront 2.
A happy imperial family
In the video, we are introduced to members of the Inferno Squad and thus important characters of the campaign.
- Iden Versio is the “heroine” of the campaign. She grew up in an imperial family, having been sent to a military camp as a child. Everything in her life has prepared her for her task of serving the Empire as the leader of the special forces unit Inferno Squad.
- Hask is an eager Imperial, a hardliner through and through. He believes that the Empire means peace and order. He is unwavering in his belief in the Empire.
- Del is more laid-back and well-traveled. He can make Iden Versio laugh. He seems to play the role of a “soft” Imperial.
- Iden’s father, Garrick Versio, is an Admiral of the Empire and thus not only the father of the heroine but also her commanding officer. The relationship between father and daughter seems to play an important role in the campaign of Star Wars Battlefront 2: The father wants his daughter to understand him.
What happens when an Empire collapses?
The video repeatedly emphasizes that the campaign of Star Wars Battlefront 2 aims to show the other side of the conflict:
- How does an Empire function without an Emperor?
- How does the organization operate?
- What happened after “Return of the Jedi?”
- What does it feel like to live in a universe that is falling apart?
It will still be a while before players can get their hands on the single-player campaign of Star Wars Battlefront 2. But the multiplayer beta will start soon for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Here are the details:
