Nieuwe game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order en meer

Gisteren avond kwam er goed nieuws voor alle Star Wars game fans, in het najaar van 2019 komt er een nieuwe Star Wars game uit genaamd Jedi: Fallen Order. Het spel zal zich afspelen net na Revenge of the Sith en zal zich focussen rond een padawan. Dit maakte EA bekend, wat dus aangeeft dat EA waarschijnlijk aan zal blijven als Star Wars game ontwikkelaar. Laten we hopen dat ze in ieder geval van de fouten van Battlefront II geleerd hebben. Maar, het gaat dit keer om een pure single-player game, dus de situatie is natuurlijk ook anders.

Today at EA Play, Electronic Arts and developer Respawn Entertainment revealed some major new details about their previously announced Star Wars game, including its name and release date: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, set to arrive during the 2019 holiday season. Respawn’s Vince Zampella disclosed the new information during an audience interview at today’s press conference, and also relayed that the game will be a single-player, action-adventure title that tells a new story set shortly after the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Zampella confirmed that Respawn is collaborating very closely with Lucasfilm on the project. You can find out more at the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order official site.

Daarnaast was er ook nog nieuws over Battlefront II, die namelijk terug in de tijd gaat en een uitbreiding krijgt met The Clone Wars content.

Electronic Arts officially announced that additional Clone Wars-era content, highly requested by fans, is coming to Star Wars Battlefront II. Starting this fall, Hero characters including Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Sith Lord Count Dooku, and General Grievous will enter the game, along with a new location: Geonosis, one of the prequel trilogy’s most iconic worlds and the site of the first Clone Wars battle. Time to decide if you’re with the Republic or Separatists… 

EA also revealed that a new game mode is in the works for release later this year. It will be a linear, larger-scale mode in which players battle for control of objectives around the map. And ahead of all these great additions, Hero Starfighters, a new Hero and Villains mode with Starfighters — i.e., dogfights! — lands in Star Wars Battlefront II this July.
