Star Wars Battlefront releases on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC Nov. We will have to wait for more details on what these "Missions" might entail, but in the mean time you can read up on our list of Star Wars game franchises EA should look at bringing back next. 8 to download the new maps for free.Īn interesting tidbit dropped but not elaborated on in the blog post is the idea of "Star Wars Battlefront Missions." We have no idea what these are, but the post seems to imply that their inclusion will mix up the maps enough for it to seem like there actually more than 12 maps. Everybody else will have to wait until Dec. Those who pre-order Battlefront will be able to download and play the new Jakku maps on Dec 1.

Star Wars Battlefront may be launching with four planets and 12 maps, but within a few weeks of release it will have another planet and new maps in the form of Jakku, a planet taken straight from the upcoming Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. For example, some maps will be made specifically for the 20 versus 20 Walker Assault gametype, while other maps will be more close quarters combat with smaller team sizes. Certain game modes will also be tailored to specific maps. One may focus on the planet's lava, while another map will adopt a more Death Star, Imperial construction theme. Various maps on Sullust will have different themes.

We studied the Death Star's architecture and material to inspire ways in which we could incorporate the structures, almost as if the same architect who designed the Death Star left their mark on the structures that stand across the surface of Sullust in Star Wars Battlefront." "And this idea proved to become a major influence in the design of the planet for the game. "We wanted to build on the existing lore that the planet Sullust had an Imperial presence," the blog post from DICE reads.
