While the Star Wars Battlefront was developed by DICE, the next game will be co-developed by DICE, Motive, and Criterion due to the magnitude of the game, Wilson said in EA's earnings call for third quarter fiscal 2017.

Notably, the absence of single-player campaign in last entry in the Star Wars-based game series (released back in late 2015) was pointed out as a glaring omission by critics, including us. And at the center of it all is Commander Iden Versio, who still has the sense to thank her droid for a scan well done.Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson has confirmed that the sequel to its popular video game title - Star Wars Battlefront - will feature a dedicated single-player campaign. If the beginning hours of Star Wars Battlefront II are any indication, players can expect a cacophonous ride filled with action and tense, quiet cutscenes. Making sense of enemy positioning, and avoiding dangerous debris, are challenges in and of themselves. These ship battles are delightfully chaotic, with the ship itself having its own suite of abilities from rapid-fire bursts of laser fire to tracking torpedos. Targeting these officers from a hidden position before starting the battle in earnest was a useful tactic during the introductory missions.Įarly in the campaign, Iden takes to the sky (or space, more accurately) and pilots a TIE fighter against Rebel forces. The pulse cannon, for example, gives Iden a powerful long-range tool for dealing with officer units that enhance the prowess of soldiers around them. These abilities add a welcome wrinkle to the running, gunning, and sneaking of each mission. While on foot, Iden has access to standard Imperial weaponry, as well as rechargeable skills including an impact grenade, the aforementioned scan, a tactical shock, and a pulse cannon built on DLT-20A framework. These environments make for fantastic stages to all the action, while Iden’s humanity keeps the conflict grounded. The superb detail extends into the nigh overwhelming environments, from the debris-littered reaches of space to the lush, leafy moon of Endor. The motion capture and texture work employed here brings Iden and her fellow squadmates to life. Visually, Star Wars Battlefront II looks sensational. Even Iden has misgivings about the Empire’s plans, and those boil over in due time… It showcases that Iden and her team are not supervillains. It is immediately endearing, and a small detail among many that make the beginning moments of the campaign so enjoyable. Iden address both her fellow agents and her droid with notable politeness.
But as she creeps behind enemy lines and uses her tactical droid to survey soldier positions, her whispered commands speak volumes. The prologue mission follows Iden as she deftly escapes Rebel capture, then assists Imperial forces on Endor following the destruction of the second Death Star. The single-player campaign of Star Wars Battlefront II takes place in the moments before and immediately after the conclusion of Return of the Jedi. But the most striking quality of her character impacts the entire narrative: her courtesy. She and the other agents of Inferno Squad represent the discipline and devotion that the Imperials glorify. Iden serves as a humanizing element to the Empire - a force we have spent decades fighting in the Star Wars universe. But Iden’s story is one of military dedication, political motivation, loyalty, and betrayal. The slow, steady tension of the scene runs contrary to the often bombastic, spectacular battles that Star Wars is known for. Commander Iden Versio, disarmed and bound, glares at the Rebel soldier holding her captive. Star Wars Battlefront II opens with an interrogation.
