Star Wars: Battlefront 2 Game Director Explains Campaign Story Experience

If there was one thing that fans are excited for the upcoming Star Wars: Battlefront 2, it would have to be the addition of a story campaign. After all, this was what the original title lacked, and one that had some fans crucifying the game because it didn't let those who want more lore and exploration truly enjoy.

Now that Star Wars: Battlefront 2 includes both, single-player game director Mark Thompson shared a few things with Eurogamer about what fans can expect—without, of course, delving too much on the details. According to Thompson there will be a linear story that will let players follow Iden's life:

"We take all of our cues from how to tell a Star Wars story working with Lucasfilm story group, analyzing the movies breaking down the beats and flow of Star Wars storytelling. So yeah, it is a continuous story with a beginning, middle, and end and you follow Iden's journey for 30 years from the end of the Jedi up to the Force Awakens at Starkiller base. It isn't a discrete set of missions or separate War Stories like Battlefield 1, you do follow Iden through this journey whilst from time to time, switching sides and playing from the perspective of one of the iconic heroes, because again that's just part of Battlefront's DNA."

This pretty much confirms that players can switch among the heroes, including a Trooper, a pilot, or even the bigger names like Luke Skywalker. Sadly, we still don't know which heroes will be included in the mix.

But if the previous title is any indication, there will be a lot of teasers and reveals as we draw closer to the date.

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 will be available on the PC, PS4, and Xbox One on Nov. 17.
