Those who didn’t pre-order will get to play the Battle of Jakku a week later, on 8 December, as a free update. Officially, this bridges the gap between Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and this year’s Episode VII: The Force Awakens. The Battle of Jakku releases on 1 December 2015, and it captures the pivotal moment when New Republic forces confront key Imperial holdouts on the remote desert planet. One such DLC has already been announced as a pre-order incentive. Realistically, we can also expect forthcoming DLC. Those numbers are fewer compared to its predecessors, but one has to keep in mind the greater development time needed for today’s games. More than 8 maps at launch, pre-order DLC announcedĪ tweet by Niklas Fegraeus, the game’s design director, states that there will be more than eight maps at launch, with more than two per planet – namely Endor, Hoth, Tattooine, and Sullust. Another producer declined to comment on whether these maps would be bolstered by AI-controlled units, just like in Pandemic’s versions.

Walker Assault is one of the game’s larger modes and DICE Producer Craig Mcleod told PC Gamer that limiting things to 40 players best reflects the experience they wanted – any higher and it would just feel too crowded. The Y-Wing bombers were a called-in airstrike, so we’re not certain if those can be flown by players. Similar to what was shown in the trailer, there were Imperial walkers such as the AT-ST and AT-AT, speeder bikes, and X-Wings and TIE Fighters. The press at Anaheim were only shown one mode, Walker Assault, which sets the battle in the thick greenery of Endor. Modes come in small and large flavors for the main component, each bringing different player caps. “We can’t hope that the players will recreate the battle exactly, so this is more like recreating the idea of the battle, or the battle next to the battle,” explained Patrick Bach, general manager for DICE.

DICE’s approach seems to mimic the story missions from Battlefront II, but with a focus on recreating iconic battles.

The previous games, by now-defunct Pandemic Studios, both featured campaigns that took players through periods in the Star Wars timeline.

Players on consoles get the added option of doing all that via offline split-screen, making Battlefront one of the rare few that has it on current-gen systems. For these smaller bot-filled missions, players can choose to bring in a friend for some cooperative action, sharing unlocks and spawning at each other’s location. Instead we’ll be getting “a variety of missions and crafted challenges – available online or offline – designed around key moments from the films,” learned Eurogamer. Missions replace Campaign mode split-screen on consolesīattlefront will not have a campaign. Furthermore the current-gen console cycle has only just begun, and while we don’t expect to see the exact same amount of detail in the final product we are keen to see how DICE attempts to push those boundaries. We have seen games seamlessly transition from cutscene to gameplay so there is some truth to that statement. Do cutscenes not look like the game when you’re playing? Obviously there may be subtle differences from time to time, but this trailer is very representative of what the game does indeed look like,” wrote Nielson. “Consider this something like a cutscene. Battlefront’s Assistant Producer, Jesper Nielson, took to Reddit to address some of the skepticism regarding the game’s graphical fidelity. It’s clear that what we saw was very much a cinematic trailer, although one completely rendered using the in-game engine, Frostbite 3, and captured on a PlayStation 4. Trailer footage was “very representative” of what game looks like EA are probably saving that bombshell for E3 in June, so in the meantime here’s what you need to know for the long-anticipated reboot helmed by Battlefield creators, DICE. There was a demo shown off behind closed doors at the event. If you haven’t watched it then here, soak it all up: That trailer has now racked up over 11 million views, so I think we can all agree they succeeded in a way. The trailer comes after a week of built-up hype where phrases such as “ break the internet” were bandied about. We’ve got a second teaser for the Episode VII movie, and more significantly (for us at least), our first look at the new Star Wars Battlefront. The past weekend has seen the internet collectively flip out after reveals poured out from the Star Wars Celebration 2015 event in Anaheim, California.
