Star Wars Battlefront 2 Campaign: 9 Bold Story Predictions
Sorry, Iden Versio, it's been nice knowing you.
One of the biggest releases of the year (and the third most expensive game of all time, no less), Star Wars Battlefront 2 is finally dropping ahead of The Last Jedi in November. Despite disappointing players with the first instalment in the rebooted series in 2015, EA has made some radical changes to the franchise in time for its sophomore effort, and they seem to be paying off.
While most of the focus has naturally been on the multiplayer going into the sequel - after all, that's all the original game had to offer - it's the single-player campaign actually shaping up to be one of the best parts of the upcoming title.
Focusing on creating a great story rather than simply throwing together a bunch of Star Wars-inspired set pieces and calling it a day, it's clear that EA are dedicated to crafting something epic when it comes to Battlefront 2's campaign.
With that said, players still don't know much about the single-player, and DICE are keeping their cards close to their chest about what fans should expect. Still, there are still some things you can bank on seeing come November, and if Battlefront 2's campaign is going to be a game-changer, it would be nothing short of amazing if these bold predictions come true.
9. Iden Versio WON'T Join The Rebels (At Least Not For Good)
Despite rumours and common sense suggesting that the star of Battlefront 2 will eventually ditch the Empire and join the Rebel Alliance, it would be far too predictable for EA to go down that route.
Being assigned to carry out the Emperor's final orders, a good bulk of the game is apparently going to chronicle Versio's revenge mission to take out the the remaining rebel forces. Hopefully though, the game won't cop out on showing the character actually accomplishing her objective.
Spanning the decades leading up to the The Force Awakens, it wouldn't make sense for Versio to suddenly switch sides half way through, and it would be much more interesting to let players see this side of the universe from the complex perspective of a sympathetic villain.
With that said, the character has to turn good at some point - this is Star Wars after all - but it will probably only come as a last-minute realisation. Because this is official canon and she's not mentioned in any of the movies however, her transformation will probably lead to the newly-turned rebel sacrificing herself to aid the cause.
