5. More Classes
The new trailer gave us a brief glimpse at some of the classes that will be in the new reboot, though just how many there will be is still unknown. An Alien that very much resembles Lando's co-pilot in Return of the Jedi (Nien Numb) seems to be the engineer class for the rebels - equipped with a jetpack and rocket launcher for quick maneuverability when taking down imperial armour. Battlefront fans will remember that the anti-tank equipment belonged to the Vanguard class in the first two titles, and that jetpacks and jump-packs were limited to the special classes of the Republic and Empire, so it's interesting to now see the engineer rocking a greater variety of gadgetry than before. Considering the staple of the Battlefield franchises class system has relied on an almost 'Rock, paper scissors' mechanic with a set of assault, support, engineer and marksman classes, it'll be interesting to see whether or not DICE can accommodate Battlefront's old class system (which was more varied), or merely offer a reskin of a model theyre much more used to in order to assure balanced gameplay. Either way, Wookie Warriors are a must.
Content Producer/Presenter
Ewan Paterson
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.
