Star Wars: Battlefront, DICE Increasingly Looking Like Match Made in Heaven

Editor

For a layman, the Star Wars: Battlefront trailer presented at the 2014 E3 may have been disappointing. After all, it contained precious little in-game footage and much more of the “people dramatically entering an office” sort of thing, as one reviewer so keenly pointed out. For a true fan however, the trailer told much more than a straight hour of in-game state-of-the-art graphics frenzy would have, and it really did say what every fan out there wanted to hear: that the folks at DICE were treating this project with utmost respect and that they were aiming to make a game that they, as Star Wars fans, always wanted to play. The trailer also showcased the lengths the team went to in order to create as authentic a Star Wars experience as possible, immersing themselves into the annals of the Star Wars universe in ways only true fans would ever be…

DICE’s Star Wars: Battlefront – Something for the Fans to Really Look Forward to

Editor

Star Wars gamers and fans of the movies/universe are certainly living in exciting times these days. While they do not currently have much available to them gaming-wise, they certainly have great things to look forward to and to be excited about. There’s a lot on the horizon for fans of the cult classic, and even though it is now certain 2014 won’t bring them the fulfillment and joy only a well-put together Star Wars game of movie can deliver, 2015 looks promising, at least according to EA’s Chief Financial Officer Blake Jorgensen, who said at the annual shareholders’ meeting of the company that Star Wars: Battlefront would indeed be released during the second or third quarter of 2015. The stormy history of the title and the speculation sparked by the game’s introduction at E3 in June, 2013 (trough a ~30-second intro), don’t exactly paint a clear or even relevant picture…

DICE: Making Star Wars: Battlefront ‘Is Scary’

Soeren Kamper

During a talk given at BAFTA in London, DICE Executive Producer Patrick Bach talked about the release and their nerves of living up to the license with the Star Wars Franchise. “So… that’s pretty cool. Who would’ve thought Star Wars would be made in Sweden? “It’s quite interesting. For some strange reason – coincidence, I don’t know – we had a discussion at the office about what happened to Battlefront. You know, the old IP that someone else made that was a ripoff of Battlefield. Bastards! We should’ve made it. It was a competition of powers. We couldn’t do both at the same time.” “For some reason EA was negotiating with Lucas slash Disney, as to whom should make the new Star Wars games. And just a week later it was like, ‘Oh, by the way, that discussion you were having about Star Wars? Do you want to make it?’… ‘Well,…

DICE Working on Battlefront Almost Didn’t Happen

Lisa Clark

We’re excited about DICE working on Star Wars: Battlefront, as we wrote about recently but can you believe it almost didn’t happen? While they seem like the perfect choice for this project, it’s a deal that almost didn’t happen. We’re glad to see DICE on the job because they are meticulous and great at what they do. We definitely have high hopes they will do very well with Battlefront. In Computer and Video Games, we have a great interview with EA’s Patrick Sderlund. Here is the really interesting part: So one of your big surprises was DICE working on the new Star Wars: Battlefront. As you said, that’s pretty much a match made in heaven for fans… but those sorts of dream collaborations don’t happen often. I’m glad you say that because it was almost not happening. It was just something as boring as resources and availability. The DICE guys…

EA Tells Us Why DICE is Perfect for Battlefront

Lisa Clark

We recently got word that EA would be bringing DICE onto the team for Star Wars: Battlefront. There was not a lot of information given at first about the game, why they chose DICE or what we could all expect. But they’ve now spoken with IGN about it and we have some more info. “EA has commented on why DICE is a great fit for Star Wars: Battlefront. Speaking to IGN during an interview at E3, EA Labels president Frank Gibeau explained that the studio’s experience with Battlefield gives them a unique set of skills perfectly attuned to taking on Star Wars.” IGN has the full story but basically Gibeau tells us why DICE has proven themselves to be good at what they do and a perfect choice for creating Battlefront with Frostbite tech.

Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

Some anniversaries sneak up on you. Others hit you like a fully-charged ARC Trooper pulse rifle.Today is the latter. Six years ago, Star Wars Battlefront II launched its Celebration Edition alongside the massive Celebration Update — a moment that instantly became legendary in the game’s history and still sparks nostalgia across the community. This was the update that said:“You like clones? Fine. Have ALL the clones.” Let’s rewind.

On This Day in Battlefront: The Last Jedi Season Began Eight Years Ago — Which Side Did You Choose?

gingetattoo

Every Star Wars fan has that one Battlefront II memory that lives rent-free in their mind. Maybe it was the first time you Force-pushed an entire hallway of stormtroopers, or maybe it was the moment you realized Kylo Ren’s pull ability was both incredible and wildly annoying. But today, we’re rewinding the clock to a very specific milestone: Eight years ago, The Last Jedi Season launched in Star Wars Battlefront II.Yes — eight. Years. Ago.Take a moment to feel that one in your bones. The Season That Split the Galaxy (In a Fun Way) When The Last Jedi Season arrived, DICE didn’t just hand us new cosmetics and call it a day. Nope — they made us choose sides. You had to align with either: It wasn’t just a cosmetic choice. It changed your challenges, your community goals, and how the event storyline unfolded.

On This Day in Battlefront: The Battle of Geonosis Update Dropped 7 Years Ago — And It Was Peak Clone Wars Gaming

gingetattoo

Seven years ago today, Star Wars Battlefront II delivered one of the biggest and most beloved updates in the game’s entire lifespan: The Battle of Geonosis. This wasn’t a small patch. It wasn’t a balance tweak. It was a full-blown content explosion — the kind of “oh wow, they actually did it” moment that reminded players why they fell in love with Battlefront in the first place. And honestly? It still holds up as one of the greatest Clone Wars experiences ever put into a Star Wars shooter. A Massive Galactic Assault Map That Felt Like a Real War The Geonosis Galactic Assault map was huge — not “Battlefront huge,” but legit battlefield huge. Wide open dunes, rocky caverns, marching walkers, war dust everywhere, and that orange haze that instantly screams “we are so, so doomed.” For many players, this was the first time Battlefront II truly felt like: Snipers,…

What To Do When You’re NOT Playing SWTOR

Editor

Let’s face it: no matter how much of a fan of Star Wars: The Old Republic you are, there will be times in your life when you’re not playing it. And when that’s the case, what should you be doing with your time?  That’s where this post comes in handy. We look at some of the things you can do when you’re not actively enjoying the game. Yes, it might seem strange (the suggestion that there could be something else to do out there), but it’s also worth exploring.  Go To A Star Wars Set One thing you could do is go to a Star Wars set (or at least somewhere that looks a bit like it could be a set). For example, a lot of fans make their way out to red-rock canyons in the southwest and hang out like they’re on Tatooine. Don’t worry: the temperature is high…

Star Wars Battlefront II Another Night on Endor

On This Day in Battlefront History: “Another Night on Endor” Update Turns Six

gingetattoo

Six years ago today, Star Wars Battlefront II players ventured back into the dark forests of Endor — and the screams still echo. Released in October 2019, the “Another Night on Endor” update brought one of the game’s most memorable limited-time modes to new heights. The spooky, moonlit chaos of Ewok Hunt returned with fresh content, enhanced visuals, and new hero appearances — making it a standout moment in DICE’s post-launch roadmap for the beloved shooter. The Return of the Hunt The centerpiece of the update was a brand-new Ewok Hunt map, expanding on the terrifying nighttime survival mode that turned players into either predator or prey. In this asymmetric horror experience, stormtroopers tried to survive the night against the fuzzy, furious, and highly motivated Ewoks of Endor. Players stalked through pitch-black forests, guided only by the faint beam of a flashlight — and the haunting sound of Ewok horns…

Horizon Walker modded character Osla with exaggerated fantasy proportions standing in a modern lounge.

Horizon Walker  greatly expands the already-busty Osla into true cow-sized human proportions

Novara Skuara

The Horizon Walker modding scene has always been about pushing creative limits. The new O-Cup Osla add-on is a tongue-in-cheek character overhaul that proves modders aren’t afraid to experiment with larger-than-life design. While its name gives a playful nod to the character’s exaggerated proportions, this mod is far more than a simple visual tweak. It’s a full character re-imagining that changes how Osla stands out in the Horizon Walker universe—without altering the core gameplay loop. What the Mod Actually Does At its core, O-Cup Osla is a visual enhancement. It reshapes the Osla character model to create a more striking and dramatic silhouette. The result is a hero who looks truly unique next to standard NPCs and companions.Key technical highlights include: The creator clearly spent time making sure that the new look doesn’t break immersion or cause clipping issues—a detail veteran mod users will appreciate.
