Star Wars Battlefront: 10 Tiny Details Hardcore Fans Will Love
5. Character Customisation Is Definitely A Thing
Okay, this point is semi-cheating, but the fact that this was teased in the beta shows that something particularly fantastic is coming to the game's final build in November. Character designs are pre-selected and randomised for players in both Walker Assault and Drop Zone for the beta's duration, but come Battlefront's release fans will be able to make their classes from any sort of humanoid imaginable - even Rodians to name but one. DICE have already said that the feature isn't going to go full-on with its zaniness, so players hoping to create rainbow Stormtroopers should probably lower their expectations for now. That said, the ability to take your own character into the battle of your choosing really cements the reboot as a personal experience for fans of the franchise, and goes just that little bit further in letting players carve out their own role in combat.
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.
