Star Wars Battlefront rumours: campaign spans entire SW saga

Star Wars fan site Making Star Wars has published a long list of leaks from the upcoming EA and DICE Star Wars Battlefront game. The leaks cover campaign, multiplayer and much more.

Making Star Wars has proved reliable before when it comes to movie leaks, but we must treat this as a rumour for now, until EA officially reveals gameplay details in the spring.

According to information the site received, Battlefront will come with both campaign and multiplayer modes. The multiplayer portion will support 64-player battles like previous Battlefield games. As for the campaign, it’s supposedly longer than most modern games. The story will cover the entire Star Wars saga, giving you control of both the good guys (Old Republic, Rebellion and Republic) and the bad guys (Separatists and the Empire). The majority of it will be set in the original trilogy, but will feature events from the prequel trilogy, including the Revenge of the Sith opening battle.

Now here’s is where it gets interesting, the final section of the campaign is supposed to serve as a prequel to the upcoming The Force Awakens film, given that it’s primed for release before the film.

Multiplayer -wise, some game modes will feature space-to-land battles. But what differentiates this from Battlefield games is what’s called the “hero” system. Think of it as a killstreak-style reward that lets you play as certain hero characters when you reach a certain point threshold.

Not a Star Wars fan but i think this might just make me one.

If any of this is true, EA better get a whole lot of respect.

I hope these leaks are true, making the game a prequel to the movie and making the campaign long, everyone is going to like this.

Hype.

[Faa]

I hope the multiplayer would be open world like Planetside 2

[Guest]

It should be good, if this is true.

[daemonowner]

The hype will build, especially with EA's marketing campaign. The game however is very unlikely to live up to the hype. That said, it seems that EA has learned a bit from the Ubisoft shitstorm, so maybe they've changed a bit for the better.

[Sauron]

If it's the usual modern military shooter style of campaign, prepare to be let down. I hope they make the campaign like it used to be in the old Battlefield and Battlefront titles, where it's basically a set of multiplayer maps played in order against bots with cutscenes inbetween.

Never liked Star Wars

MORE BULLSHIT FROM EA LIKE ME GUESS U NEED 10 DLC TO GET ALL THE STORY

To be honest I expect bf4 with a different skin. I fear we'll see one-shot kills, terrible player movement, regenerating health, an extremely short, linear and dumb campaign and everything else that ruined the Battlefield series.

[Humbug]

Sounds good. But if the end of the campaign is supposed to be a prelude to the force awakens then the danger is that they will rush to get it out a few months before the movie which is coming out in December.

[DtrollMC]

I'm a huge fan of Star Wars, and I really hope they don't mess up Battlefront. I don't have much hope though. This news however, is good news. It will be interesting to see how they pull that off. 

[Humbug]

Wonder whether Dice will move Frostbite to DX12 by the time this is out?

[DtrollMC]

Will Death Star be playable?

I really hope so/think so. Since it's such a huge part of Star Wars, there will probably be a few maps involving the death star, like a trench run or inside the death star

[givingtnt]

would be epic  what if they plan ahead ? and we play star wars 8 and 9 before the movies come out

[slightlyjaded]

let's be honest here. star wars doesn't really need to be much more than a reskin. and as for updating frostbite? it's hoth....frostbite is compulsory....

 

jokes aside. a well matured, reskinned game with a decent single player campaign would be a moneymaker for dice/ EA. They don't need to reinvent the hoverboard.

That's what I've been thinking. As long as I can fight people in an X-Wing or AT-AT I'll be happy.

[Fulgrim]

Would love for some X-Wing/Tie Fighter fighting, as well as the AT-AT.

 

And even more-so for the likes of Darth Caedus to be in the story. :<

[wpirobotbuilder]

I hope this is true. I loved the original Battlefront Games, and would gladly get this one!

 

Hopefully the graphics are better than the older games

[Trik'Stari]

Lol, how long before we get Battlefield: Star Wars

 

 

that's actually not a terrible idea I hate to say....

[geforceftw]

This better be good. If it isn't EA will lose my respect. (which probably should of already happened). I personally won't care too much for multiplayer.

 

One thing i would love to see is an HD remake of Battlefront 1 and 2. Hopefully modders could do this in the Battlefront 3 engine kind of like Skywind.

[ItsAFeature]

I'm sure at least one person at DICE was on Reddit this morning, came across the rumor that JJ Abrams is trying to get The Force Awakens moved up to this summer, and had a small heart attack...

[Sidiox]

I really hope this will just be like a HD remake of Battlefront II. That game had some quirks and nowadays it just looks ugly. I really hope they don't change the fighting system too much. And I really hope they won't make it into a reskin of battlefield. That would be such a let down

[carolkarine]

If it requires battlelog for the singleplayer they can go Fuck themselves. I will deal with it for multiplayer, but I still resent them for shoehorning it into the singleplayer

[Maslofski]

this would actually make me buy it, gg EA, gg.

[Victorious Secret]

I'll forgive EA once they give me a successor to Knights of the Old Republic.

 

The Old Republic doesn't count. That shit on the story of KotOR in embarrassing ways and wasn't even 1/10th as rewarding to play as either KotOR.
