“Obviously, though, with everything you do, there are learnings. “Well, we don't have anything on the next Battlefront to share-we're mostly just talking about Skirmish mode,” says Fegraeus. I ask if this indicates the first step towards more substantial single-player options in 2017’s Battlefront 2. You never know, right? Is it a very vocal minority that's crying out for it? Or is it something a lot of people will be playing? We'll see and make decisions based on that.” There's a bunch of not-really-development-related issues with that, so we have to clear that, then we'll see depending on how popular it becomes.

If you’ve bought the DLC, you won’t be able to play offline in those maps yet, sadly, for what sound to me like licensing issues. This is a beginner-level setting, probably for those who really struggle online (I know my dad will like it), but it’s nice to have the option of just mowing down stormtroopers if you can’t be bothered with any competition. I bagged 50 kills, and died three times, twice because I flew my A-Wing into AT-ATs, which I’d be lying if I said didn’t happen a lot. I tried Hoth’s Walker Assault map on the lowest difficulty, Normal, and it was probably too easy for me. This lets you have all of those moments with an optional challenge on top. Thing is, though, if you want to get a quick shot of Star Wars spectacle or sightseeing in Battlefront, there isn’t currently a good option in which to do that-everyone’s fighting to get the Falcon in Fighter Squadron.

I sampled both at Star Wars Celebration in London this past weekend, though they only had a PS4 build on the stand.įor the more skilled online players still enjoying Battlefront, this possibly prompts cries of ‘noobs’ and the like. Skirmish mode lets you play both with bots of varying difficulty. In case you’ve not played Battlefront before, Fighter Squadron is the game’s spaceship-only dogfighting mode, while Walker Assault is the busiest and most cinematic Battlefront has to offer, putting players in battles that don’t skimp on the AT-ATs. Cut forward eight months, then, and DICE is finally adding a stronger offline option to Fighter Squadron and Walker Assault this week, two of the biggest modes in the game, and where most of the spectacle of Battlefront is concentrated.
