Star Wars Battlefront II Dishes Story Details In A Fresh Footage Packed Behind-The-Scenes
As you’ve likely already heard, Disney is holding its D23 Expo this weekend (July 14 – 16), [...]
The most interesting information revealed in the video concerns the three core members of Inferno Squad. Iden Versio, played by Janina Gavankar (True Blood, Halo 5: Guardians) grew up on a planet called Vardos, and is a true-blue Imperial, as she was raised in a strict military training camp. Gideon Hask, played by Paul Blackthorne (Arrow) is the team's moral compass, but in his case, that compass always points back to the Empire. Finally, Del Meeko, as played by TJ Ramini (24, Prison Break) is the team's rogue, who might have a bit of a thing for Iden.
New storyline details aside, the video is packed with new footage. We see Iden Versio battling her way through a ship with her loyal droid by her side, flying through the debris of the destroyed Death Star, and chatting with her fellow Inferno Squadmates. We also get plenty of fun shots of the motion capture process. No doubt, this looks like a true current gen triple-A Star Wars experience.

EA revealed Star Wars Battlefront II earlier this year. Unlike its 2015 predecessor, which focused almost entirely on online multiplayer, Battlefront II will have a fully-developed single-player campaign, in which you play from the perspective of the Empire's elite Inferno Squad. The game's campaign is the work of new studio Motive, which is headed by former Assassin's Creed producer Jade Raymond, and the multiplayer is the work of DICE (Battlefield series) and Criterion (Burnout, Need for Speed).
Star Wars Battlefront II will be holding an open beta on October 6, and folks that pre-order will get two-day early access. The full game launches on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 on November 17. You can check out WWG's latest coverage of Battlefront II here.
