What to Expect From the Steam Re-releases of Battlefront I and II

Classic Star Wars Action

The Battlefront series is beloved for recreating massive Star Wars battles where you can play as both the Empire and Rebellion. In Battlefront I and II, you’ll be able to relive some of the most iconic battles from the original trilogy. Whether you want to storm the beaches of Scarif as a Rebel soldier or crush the Rebellion on Hoth as an AT-AT driver, these games let you fully immerse yourself in the Star Wars universe.

 

Updated Graphics but Same Core Gameplay

While the Steam releases will feature improved graphics to bring the games up to modern standards, the core gameplay that fans love will remain the same. You’ll still be able to capture command posts, hop into X-wings and TIE fighters, and wield lightsabers as Jedi heroes. The slick new coat of paint will make the games look better but won’t impact how they play.
