Star Wars: Battlefront Video Game Series
A series of shooters set in the universe of Star Wars. Initially, the American studio Pandemic, also known for such productions as Full Spectrum Warrior or Mercenaries, while its publisher was LucasArts. Later, as a result of ownership changes from 2009-2013, the rights to the brand were acquired by Electronic Arts corporation. The creation of subsequent installments was then entrusted to the Swedish studio DICE, experienced in the production of first-person games and having such series as Battlefield or Mirror's Edge. In 2024, meanwhile, Aspyr Media joined the group of companies that officially put their stamp on the described brand.
Games in the series Star Wars: Battlefront are FPP/TPP shooters, the pillars of which are multiplayer skirmishes. The rules of gameplay and victory conditions vary depending on the selected mode. Individual clashes take place in locations known from the cinematic Star WarsThey involve both heroes and regular units characteristic of each side, as well as forces of natives, who may be neutral or hostile to representatives of particular sides of the conflict. In addition, productions under this banner allow us to sit behind the controls of ground and flying vehicles and machines known from the universe. Star Wars.
The first production under this banner, namely Star Wars: Battlefrontwas released in 2004 on personal computers and PlayStation 2 and Xbox consoles (in time a conversion for mobile devices was also prepared). A year later, the position lived to see a continuation in the form of the game Star Wars: Battlefront II. Admittedly, in 2006 the creation of the third Battlefront was handled by the Free Radical Design team, but after two years of work the project was canceled. In time, based on its fan remake, a completely new project unrelated to the Star Wars, titled Galaxy in Turmoil.
As a result, for the next Battlefront fans had to wait ten years, as it was only in 2015 that the reboot of the brand was released Star Wars: Battlefront. The title, which came to eighth-generation consoles (Xbox One and PlayStation 4) and personal computers and was based on DICE studio's proprietary Frostbite 3 engine, drew handfuls from its predecessors in terms of gameplay. In 2017, its sequel was released, namely. Star Wars: Battlefront II, which, unlike the original focused on multiplayer gameplay, also had a story campaign. The year 2024, meanwhile, brought the release of a compilation of the first two parts of the series, namely. Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, developed by Aspyr Media and released for personal computers and eighth- and ninth-generation consoles.
The series also lived to see spin-offs. In 2007, a tactical action game came to the PlayStation Portable, titled Star Wars: Battlefront - Renegade Squadron, while two years later a genre-related game followed in its footsteps Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron (also released on the Nintendo DS).
