The multiplayer Star Wars Battlefront was unveiled by Dice yesterday. Now there are further answers to fans’ pressing questions. How many maps will be available at launch? What FPS are aimed for on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Yesterday, the trailer and the presentation of Star Wars Battlefront caused a disturbance in the Force, well, at least for the internet. After seeing the trailer’s images and the sparse information, a flood of questions went to the developers. Via Twitter, DICE Design Director Niklas Fegraeus responded.
- They are planning for 4 planets at launch, but this does not mean that there will only be 4 maps. There will also be more than 8, and more than just 2 per planet. They want to find a mix of small and larger maps to cover all playstyles.

- The split-screen is only intended for local mode; online, cooperative play will be possible, focusing on the “missions” that players will engage in instead of the campaign.
We have a feature called Missions that allow you to play solo or cooperatively with bots on or offline https://t.co/v7IL7fuC8G — Niklas Fegraeus (@DICEfigge) April 17, 2015
- There will be more heroes. They take on a special role in battle. Currently, only Boba Fett and Darth Vader have been revealed. Their use will likely be limited to certain game modes.
Heroes depend heavily on the game mode. We will tell you more about heroes at a later date https://t.co/aB3JpJQjd4

- There will be a lot of achievements to earn, and there will be collectibles to unlock. So, there are the typical achievement systems in the game that many enjoy.
Yes, there will be plenty of things to unlock, achieve and collect. More on this will be revealed at a later date! https://t.co/m0jHS9ftP2 — Niklas Fegraeus (@DICEfigge) April 18, 2015
