At Gamescom, Electronic Arts presented the new mode “Fighter Squadron” for Star Wars Battlefront . Players in Cologne will be able to try it out live.
The gameplay for the new air combat mode “Fighter Squadron” is, in short, all that one could expect and then some more. Hot action, cool radio quotes, appearances of the great Star Wars heroes with bold sayings, and the famous ships. And the Empire even has a distinctly British accent. How could it be otherwise?
20 players will be able to participate in the dogfights. Electronic Arts will then add another 20 AI combatants. The ships include X-Wings, TIE Fighters, A-Wings, TIE Interceptors, and as can be seen, also the Millennium Falcon, where Han Solo quips his “Never tell me the odds” – “Erzähl mir nie, wie meine Chance stehen.”
DICE is particularly proud that they received permission from Lucasarts to design the lava planet “Sullust” themselves. Star Wars fans will therefore get the first glimpse of Sullust in Star Wars Battlefront.
