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.
Multiplayer Mayhem
A huge part of the Battlefront experience is jumping into massive multiplayer battles with up to 32 players. The Steam versions will support online multiplayer so you can team up with friends to control the galaxy. Whether you want to cooperate as Rebels or dominate as the Empire, the multiplayer action will be just as frantic and fun as you remember.
Additional Content
The Steam releases will also include additional content added after the original launch. This includes new game modes, maps, characters, and other bonuses that extended the life of the games. With all downloadable content bundled in, there will be no shortage of Star Wars excitement. The complete collection of Battlefront I and II content in one package is a must-have for Star Wars fans and shooter enthusiasts.
