'There will be new ways to play, including an all new single-player campaign and much, much more that we are excited to share with our players in the months ahead. 'Our next Star Wars Battlefront will be even bigger, taking players into more locations and allowing them to play with more heroes and characters across multiple Star Wars eras,' said EA boss Andrew Wilson in a financial call last night. It will also draw from multiple Star Wars eras, meaning dreams of prequel content may come true. When playing against the computer, the player can accelerate time or pause time on both the galactic and skirmish maps. The 'next great Star Wars game' referred to is of course Star Wars Battlefront 2, due this autumn, which will feature a single-player campaign from the off. Some of the maps on offer in Skirmish on PS4. Heck I'd love the other eight modes - Blast, Cargo, Drop Zone, Droid Run, Heroes vs Villains, Hero Hunt, Supremacy, Turning Point - as well.īut as EA DICE appears to be excusing itself from significant future Star Wars Battlefront support, it seems unlikely Skirmish will ever offer anything more. I'd love to play the DLC modes Battle Station (on the Death Star), Extraction, Infiltration and Sabotage in Skirmish. My son and I love it.īut Skirmish, introduced last July, only offers Walker Assault and Fighter Squadron modes and associated maps. All guns are available and the bots are wimps, which means massive killstreaks for you. Skirmish makes the game's big multiplayer maps available offline, to play alone or in split-screen, and fills the remaining 20-person teams with bots. It means, as the EA DICE post pointed out, 'no future Skirmish content is planned', which is a shame. 'The team has shifted its focus to creating the next great Star Wars game,' EA DICE said.

That's it for ongoing Star Wars Battlefront 1 development, it sounds like.
