There is a new set of rumors surroundingStar Wars Battlefront. We’ll summarize these rumors for you below.
The game will go throughthe saga, and let you play multiple factions, including the Old and New Republic, the Rebellion, the Separatists, and the Empire. Only a small part of it will include the prequels.There will be some battles from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and the space battle inCorsucant in Revenge of the Sith.
Most of the game will be set in the original trilogy, with every scenario you can imagine added in. The single story campaign will be longer than that of the average shooter.
The last part of the campaign will be set just before and during the start of The Force Awakens. There will be parts in between Return of the Jedi as well, but not much, as LucasFilm apparently has huge plans for that part of the timeline. In that segment there will be an appearance from a Tarkin.
EA DICE was allowed to enter Pinewood Studios for extensive research, scanning and capturing props, sets, etc.
Space to land battles will be in the game in a limited capacity. Multiplayer can go as big as 64 players on each side.
There will be a hero system, where you earn the title by earning points. Heroes get special abilities and are extremely powerful. Apparently, the system is being built so you can plan the hero at least once per match.
There will be five DLC packs, the 1st coming out before 2015 ends. Each pack will have special themes as well, based on The Force Awakens. Thankfully, some The Force Awakens characters, including everyone in the trailer,will be in the base game. Each DLC pack should have 3 new maps, new hero characters and new vehicles and ships, of which there are a ton.
Lastly, based on the evidence our source shares, there is reason to believe the desert inThe Force Awakens is Tattooine.
Star Wars Battlefront will be released on PlayStation 4,Xbox One, and Windows on holiday 2015.
