Star Wars: Battlefront 2015 - 9 Most Believable Rumours You Need To Know
9. 64 Player Battles
All ready a staple of the Battlefield franchise - large scale open warfare looks set to return to Dice's shooter. This revelation should hardly be surprising to fans of the Battlefront saga, as both of Pandemic's releases featured a large amount of bots and players alike to inhabit the war-fields where factions would oppose. The key difference here however, is that bots no longer need make up the rest of the rosters for online play, as DICE have shown that two teams of 32 players can easily be achieved on both the Xbox One and PS4. (let's just hope that they work from day one this time) Whether or not this means the renowned 'squad' system will make an appearance in Battlefront is unclear, but it would make an awful lot of sense for it to be. Battlefront and Battlefield share many characteristics, not least of which being a focus on objective-based gameplay and team communication. Say what you will about Battlefield's multiplayer, but Dice have demonstrated their mastery when it comes to making large-scale confrontations work online - Battlefront won't be an exception.

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.
