In the multiplayer shooter Star Wars Battlefront, X-Wings, Tie Fighters, and other spaceships will appear in various modes and engage in exciting battles.
Initially, players were disappointed by the news that there would be no “space battles” in Battlefront. Star Wars without Star Wars so to speak: This did not sit well with some. But the spaceships will, it seems, play a crucial role within the atmosphere.
Now it becomes clear: In certain modes, aerial combat will take center stage. These modes will be tailored to the needs of the pilots and their spaceships. For instance, the newly mentioned mode “Fighter Squadron”. Here, players will be able to engage in “epic aerial battles over vast canyons”. A small glimpse was already seen in the trailer.
Apart from these large battles, pilots will also demonstrate their skills in missions.
The X-Wings and Tie Fighters are not limited to their “own” missions, but also called “dogfights” can rage over the rolling ground battles that other players engage in multiplayer modes.
One of the main themes at DICE is to assure players that Star Wars Battlefront offers a vast variety to cater to different play styles. Meanwhile, they focus on maximum authenticity: The weapons are designed to feel, sound, and impact just like those from the great predecessor, the original Star Wars trilogy.
What the PC needs to handle to graphically present all this is still unknown. This will only be revealed in later beta tests, they say. The next major announcement has been promised for E3 in mid-June. There, new, previously unseen gameplay material is also expected to be shown.
