Several lucky "Star Wars: Battlefront" fans were able to meet the person creating the story for the game sequel, Amy Hennig, during the recently concluded Star Wars Celebration held in London. Hennig shared a few bits of the process in creating a story in a galaxy far, far away.
Hennig shared to the audience the process of developing an entirely original storyline for the upcoming video game, "Star Wars Battlefront 2," which will set it apart from the previous game but still be able to capture "Star Wars" spirit, GameSpot reported.
"The reason [we're collaborating with Lucasfilm so closely is] we're writing an original Star Wars story with new characters, locations, tech, creatures, you name it. All of it has to sit authentically alongside the stuff people know now," Hennig said during the panel.
She added, "The process that I've been using is really similar to what I did with 'Uncharted,' to be honest. If you're trying to re-create that classic--in [Uncharted's] case--pulp action adventure experience, you need to deconstruct the films so you know how to reconstruct them in an interactive context as gameplay."
Henning was good not to divulge any specific details about the upcoming "Star Wars" game, but she hinted that the game will be similar to "Uncharted."
Meanwhile, the Star Wars Celebration also hinted that "Battlefront's" final DLC will be "Rogue One"-themed. A new map will be developed based on Scarif, the movie's tropical location, which will arrive after the Death Star add-on, PushSquare stated. This was also announced via the @StarWarsGames Twitter account.
