What the Messenger Tells Us About Star Wars Battlefront II The death of the Emperor wasn’t the end of the Empire. While the fall of the nefarious leader sewed confusion among the ranks, the surviving officers of the Imperial navy still wield influence over vast fleets and powerful forces. But even from beyond the grave, the Emperor’s destructive control holds sway over the galaxy… not just over his enemies, but also over the servants who failed to protect his life. Part of that vengeance is enacted by Messenger droids, one of which plays a key role in the single-player story of Star Wars Battlefront II. Messengers are agents of the Contingency – the Emperor’s sinister plan put into effect in the event of his untimely demise. Outlined in Star Wars Shattered Empire and Star Wars Aftermath, t...

You know what happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away above the forest moon of Endor. As a massive attack raged in space around the second Death Star, Rebel pilots flew through the battle station’s winding superstructure and destroyed the Empire’s most powerful weapon. The Alliance and their Ewok allies celebrated as jubilation spread to the far corners of the galaxy. But the destruction of the Death Star wasn’t the end of the war… Endor was only the beginning. And it’s during this violent period of uncertainty and turmoil that Inferno Squad set out to fulfill their destiny and avenge their Emperor. Inferno Squad is an Imperial special-ops team, trained as both deadly starfighter pilots and elite commandos. Deeply committed to the rule of law, Inferno Squad is ...

Apparently, there’s a trailer floating around on the internet for Star Wars Battlefront 2, that is, if you manage to watch it before it ultimately gets taken down. We already know that Battlefront 2 will have a single player campaign. It’s likely that the female soldier in the beginning of the trailer will play a major role in the game. Before the trailer cuts to a montage of wars, you can hear her say,”I still remember my last orders. The day the real war began.” Also, it is followed by the text ‘the untold soldier’s story’, hence making the whole scenario a lot more plausible. The multiplayer, on the other hand, will take players across all era, apparently including the prequels, the original trilogy and the new sequels as well. Pre-ordering the ...

EA looks intent on milking their success with the Star Wars franchise the best they can. Apart from the third person Star Wars game in the works, we now have reports of EA planning to release a new Star Wars Battlefront game. The reports come after EA released its quarterly earning call which confirmed that a new Star Wars Battlefront will release next year. EA has also announced that Visceral’s Star Wars adventure game will release in 2018 and that we can expect at least one new Star Wars game every year for the next few years. So far we know that Battlefront 2 is coming in 2017 and that 2018 will bring whatever Visceral has been beavering away on, so we assume that 2019 will see the release of Respawn’s third-person Star Wars action game.
