As E3 approaches, details on the games that will be highlighting the event are trickling out and it's starting to look better than ever for Star Wars Battlefront. The Community Manager for DICE's upcoming Star Wars game, Mathew Everett, has revealed a bit of information concerning what the collaboration with Lucasfilm is bringing to the game.
The collaboration is bringing inspiration to both companies when it comes to Star Wars. In fact, the depiction of planet Sullust that recently appeared in the Star Wars comics was actually based on the game.
"The Sullust they use within the comic is based on the Sullust we’re introducing into the Star Wars universe in Star Wars Battlefront. This has been a part of the collaboration we have had with Lucas over the last few years."
The collaboration has the teams on both sides working through "a lot of back and forth" before the final iteration of the project is revealed. Another result of collaboration are the Magma Troopers.
Everett has revealed that 12 mission maps and multiplayer maps are separate and unique to the part of the game.
“Mission maps are unique to Missions. The map count we revealed includes only Multiplayer maps from the base game (12 maps). We also have the two extra free maps that will come with the Battle of Jakku. The Battle of Jakku maps will arrive starting on December 1st or December 8th depending if you pre-ordered, which gives us 14 maps total before The Force Awakens arrives in theaters.
We will reveal the full Mission map count in the near future.”
The next bit of information will be revealed at E3.
