Here’s What You’ll See in Star Wars Battlefront’s New Offline Skirmish Mode

July is bringing a much-requested feature for Star Wars Battlefront: the offline mode. From July 21 onwards, the Skirmish offline mode will finally be available so that fans can enjoy the game and play alone or with a friend.

Skirmish mode will be available for two of the most popular modes in the game, where players can opt to battle in Walker Assault or take it to the skies with Fighter Squadron, as announced over the official Star Wars Battlefront website. And since it's an offline adventure expect some AIs and the ability to control the difficulty level you'd want to face against them in.

Check out the details for each of the modes where you can play Skirmish modes in:

Walker Assault:
Gameplay offering: Ground battles, Vehicle, Air Combat, and Hero Combat
Take on the massive Imperial AT-AT's that are descending upon the Rebel strongholds in an epic game of attack and defend in this 40 player mode.
Maps: 7
Player Count: 1 or 2
Total Count: 40
Difficulty: Normal, Hard or Master

Fighter Squadron
Gameplay offering: Air Combat and Hero Vehicle Combat
Take to the skies and dogfight in some of the most memorable Star Wars vehicles including X-wings, TIE fighters, the Millennium Falcon, and more.
Player Count: 1 or 2
Total Count: 10
Difficulty: Normal, Hard or Master

Several gameplay footages are already available for both modes. From the looks of it, Skirmish is a great way for fans who would want to experience the chaos of the 64-player multiplayer experience without the "multi" part. You do have a lot of bots and AIs around, so you still get the feel of a very chaotic and desperate battlefield ahead.

There are already a handful of sneak peeks of the gameplay footage, like the one below. From the looks of it, the major difference with online play is that the difficulty levels are not there to punish players. For the most part, as with any bot activity offline, it's not meant to give you a very hard time, so kill-streaks might be easier to pull off.

This is a good start for EA, as it finally delivered a feature that fans have been clamoring for. Hopefully, the promised Death Star and Rogue One DLCs will enhance the universe for an even better experience.
