Star Wars: Battlefront 2015 - 9 Most Believable Rumours You Need To Know

From some awesome original trilogy locations to Episode VII characters...

by Ewan Paterson

Probably the most anticipated of all Star Wars releases to date, DICE have a lot to live up to with their first foray into the Battlefront franchise. One of the most beloved series of games to have been released in the past decade, Pandemic delighted Star Wars fans across the world when they brought Battlefront and Battlefront II to consoles, but despite suffering difficulties as a studio, LucasArts were determined to see the Battlefront licence continued under the direction of Free Radical. Although, that proved to be a less than fortunate avenue of direction. Teased with video after video of Free Radical's cancelled Battlefront III, it's no wonder gamers are eagerly awaiting the series' long overdue return to consoles. The rumour mill is already swirling ahead of its eventual Q4 launch this year too, and whilst it may be wise to take them with a pinch of salt, chances are many of these features will be a reality by the time Battlefront hits the shelves. So, whilst we may have seen very little of the game so far, it would be fair to assume that the rumours found within this article are more than likely enshrined in fact. The developers over at DICE have already demonstrated their skill to make fun, online multiplayer a reality with their highly lucrative Battlefield series, and if these rumours are anything to go by the same could definitely be said of their version of Battlefront.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
