More new details about the anticipated "Star Wars Battlefront 2" have been revealed.
Since the sequel to "Star Wars Battlefront" was officially unveiled during the Star Wars Celebration, further information about the game has begun surfacing online. PVP Live reports that "Battlefront 2" will include dedicated servers to host its matches. Associate design director Dennis Brännvall broke the news on Twitter, though nothing was mentioned about community or private servers. Instead of a peer-to-peer system, this type of server seems to be the sole option for a large-scale shooter like "Battlefront 2."
Aside from the confirmed dedicated server, the upcoming game will include improvements for the weapon reload system. Brännvall did not reveal too much about the changes, but he did promise that more details will be announced in the coming weeks or months.
Fans of the 2015 "Star Wars Battlefront" game has always complained about its lack of any single player campaign. With the sequel just a few months from its release, the single player campaign appears to be the focus of marketing this time around. However, some fans are still worried that the said campaign will just be tacked on.
EA Motive Studios' Content Producer Paola Jouyaux recently caught up with PlayStation Lifestyle, clarifying that the studio remains committed to deliver the best gameplay features for fans.
"I think it shows a commitment to the single player mode that they came to us and Motive to create this campaign," Jouyaux explained. "EA are completely dedicated to building this game mode." According to Lucasfilm's Douglas Reilly, EA has its three best studios assigned to the game, including EA Motive, which have "tremendous experience making action movie-based narratives."
In other "Battlefront 2" news, the developers have already confirmed that Deluxe Edition pre-order bonuses will not be exclusive to those who purchase it. Those who are able to unlock each of the bonuses just by playing the game can get it for free.
Developed by EA DICE, "Star Wars Battlefront 2" will be released on November 17 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC platforms.
