Board the Death Star and rescue R2-D2 (ground battle). Take out a Star Destroyer (space battle). The multi-stage battle remark makes me think of Battle Station from Battlefront 1’s Death Star DLC. EA’s Community Manager Jared Petty describes the mode as an “objective-based, multi-stage battle” that will have us piloting a variety of iconic Star Wars ships. But it’s the new Starfighter Assault mode that grabbed my attention.ĭetails are slim at the moment, but EA plans to show off the mode at Gamescom. Now, we all can grab a blaster as a Separatist droid or Republic Clone on the streets of Theed. We saw plenty of gameplay out of E3 of the Assault on Naboo. The beta gets underway on October 4 for those of you who pre-order. Today, EA detailed what we all will play when the Battlefront 2’s beta hits in early October. And a new multiplayer mode will put a spotlight on their work. The team behind Burnout and Need for Speed is bringing their vehicle expertise to a galaxy far, far away. Three developers are coming together to work their magic. Star Wars Battlefront 2 isn’t a one developer show.
