Star Wars Battlefront. VR. LEGO. The future of Star Wars gaming is bright, and players caught a glimpse of that future — no Jedi powers needed — at this year’s E3. Here’s a rundown of what’s to come in the Star Wars gaming galaxy.
Star Wars Battlefront
DICE continues to add more content to the landmark Star Wars Battlefront, with free content and three more digital expansions coming by the end of the year: Bespin, Death Star, and a final pack in December. DICE is also working with Criterion on an exclusive Star Wars Battlefront VR mission for PlayStation VR this year.
In 2017, a new installment of Star Wars Battlefront, currently in development at DICE in collaboration with Motive Studios in Montreal, will debut. The Motive team is building out a significant new addition to the game. No specifics have been confirmed, but development started by listening to all of the feedback received from fans, while also innovating in new areas.
