Star Wars: Battlefront - 10 Shocking Moments From The E3 Demo
9. More Modes Than Ever Before
One great thing about Pandemic's previous Battlefront entries was the variety of game modes the titles shipped with. Despite Conquest being the clear favourite among fans, game types like 'Hunt' and 'Assault' were great little distractions that helped spice up gameplay for when players grew tiresome of the main experience. It's great to see then that DICE are following suite with a variety of new modes to keep players entertained. Despite being a multiplayer-centric title, this year's Battlefront will also have a key solo and Co-Op experience - one that pits the player and his allies against bots to achieve certain objectives. The demo shown off at E3 depicted what appears to be Battlefront's newly found 'horde' mode - which has gamers take on wave after wave of imperial forces in the name of survival. It looks like a heck of a lot of fun, especially with Admiral Ackbar updating the rebels on the progress of the ensuing Imperial advance coming towards them. Battlefront was always best when shared with a buddy, so it's fantastic to see that EA haven't forgotten about what made the series so endearing to fans when it first débuted over a decade ago.

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.
