If you are looking forward to the launch of the new Star Wars Battlefront II, it is well worth checking out the latest This Week on Xbox episode which has been released by Major Nelson over the weekend, as it includes an interview with Janina Gavankar. Gavankar, who plays the character Iden Versio in the game, provides some fascinating insights into the development process and what players can expect from the single-player campaign. Her character is a commander of the Imperial special forces unit known as Inferno Squad, and the storyline promises to offer a fresh perspective on the Star Wars universe.
Exciting New Features in Star Wars Battlefront II
Unlike its predecessor released back in 2015, Star Wars Battlefront II features a story-driven single-player campaign and multiplayer character classes. This addition of a single-player campaign has been highly anticipated by fans who were disappointed by the lack of a story mode in the first game. The campaign is set between the events of Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, providing a bridge between the original and sequel trilogies.
The game also features cross-era characters and locations from the original, prequel, and sequel Star Wars movie trilogies. This means players can experience iconic battles and settings from all eras of the Star Wars saga. For example, you might find yourself fighting on the lush forests of Endor, the arid deserts of Tatooine, or the bustling cityscape of Coruscant. The inclusion of characters like Darth Maul, Yoda, Kylo Ren, and Rey adds to the excitement, allowing for dream matchups and scenarios that span the entire Star Wars timeline.
More Gaming News and Updates
This week’s episode also includes more details about the open beta for Destiny 2. The beta provides players with a taste of the new content and gameplay mechanics that Bungie has introduced in the sequel. Players can explore new worlds, engage in cooperative missions, and compete in multiplayer matches. The feedback from the beta will be crucial in fine-tuning the game before its official release.
Additionally, the episode covers more information on Life is Strange: Before the Storm. This prequel to the critically acclaimed Life is Strange series delves into the backstory of Chloe Price and her relationship with Rachel Amber. The game explores themes of friendship, loss, and the struggles of adolescence, offering a deeply emotional and narrative-driven experience.
