So, what did EA do? They did what everyone wanted and announced another Battlefront title that was then released in 2017.īattlefront 2 (2017) had a rocky start, we all know that, but the hype around the next Battlefront was there. The final Expansion Pack brought Jyn Erso, Krennic, and Scarif to the playing field and teased that the Original Trilogy wasn’t the only thing EA could tackle. EA’s meticulous research and development had paid off! A never-before-seen level of detail had been achieved which gave fans the most realistic-looking Star Wars title yet.įrom the environment to the sound, everything in Battlefront (2015) screamed Star Wars. Graphically, Star Wars Battlefront (2015) was stunning, too. The original Battlefront titles were known mainly for the Command Post-focused Supremacy, so this was a fantastic step forward to developing how the series plays and what fans could expect from the future. This Attack-and-Defend mode pit the Rebellion against an Imperial AT-AT Walker in a number of locations. Supremacy, similar to Battlefield’s Conquest, was back but Walker Assault stole the show. It was catered to the casual gamer, much like the original releases in the series, but offered a fair array of gameplay options to keep the more involved Star Wars fans satiated. However, Battlefront (2015) was released to moderate success. Of course, we all knew that we weren’t going to get a Pandemic Battlefront again… But it was an alarming reduction in the scale of the title and the content that would be available.

Not only this, but many felt that EA’s title was a step in the wrong direction for the series. The Cruiser-to-Cruiser nature of space battles in Battlefront 2 (2005) is truly the best way to play the game. Unlike Battlefront 2 (2005), Battlefront (2015) was focused much more on planet-based combat and left many yearning for space-based game modes.

When EA announced that they would be developing a Battlefront title in 2015, following the dissolving of LucasArts and their acquisition of the exclusive rights to the Star War IP, many fans were sceptical, to say the least. Just like the simulations! / Credit: Pandemic
