Star Wars Battlefront 2: 10 Things Fans Need To See

3. Remakes Of Fan-Favourite Maps

Star Wars Battlefront II

Everyone (and I do mean everyone) loves Pandemic's Battlefront titles, so any decision to procure a copy of the series' latest incarnation is always going to be influenced, to a degree, by nostalgia.

Far be it from EA to miss out on an opportunity to make money (ignoring for a second their disastrous fudging of Titanfall 2's release), it would make sense for them to channel said nostalgia into monetary gain, by you know, bringing the maps back for the franchise's current-gen iteration.

If I were to choose any locations to bring back for Battlefront II, they would have to be Bespin Platforms and Rhen Var harbour. Kashyyyk would make for a pretty fantastic addition as well, but the inclusion of other maps are a tad dependant on whether or not prequel content gets added, which, as we've already established, isn't really the business of Disney right now.

Still, there's nothing to stop DICE resurrecting some golden oldies in time for a sequel. Bonus points to the studio if they're not a pre-order bonus.

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.
