It's a known fact that gamers will spend most of their time as a storm trooper or a rebel soldier in "Star Wars Battlefront." There will be some occasions when players will be on the frontlines as Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett and Darth Vader. Recent news came to deliver yet another teaser for fans: another playable character might be unveiled in the future.
Based on the trailer from E3 2015, things are looking rather well for fans of "Star Wars Battlefront." With the recent tweet from @EAStarWars, fans would be expecting another character in addition to Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett and Darth Vader.
With this news, the rumor mill is hard at work once again. According to Game Rant, Han Solo is the best choice since there are already two villains in the roster. The smuggler would be a good counterpart to the blaster wielding bounty hunter, much like Luke and Vader with their lightsaber proficiencies. Games Radar is also in agreement to place Han Solo into the fray.
Other possible characters include Obi Wan and Yoda. Still according to Game Rant, it would make sense to put Yoda and Obi Wan in "Star Wars Battlefront" if the game leaned towards the prequel trilogy. This would lead to include the Master Jedi as playable hero characters as both are at their prime during this timeline of the story. Since the story would most likely lean towards the timeline of Luke and Vader, Yoda and Obi Wan would be old and past their prime. Still, it is expected that the characters will be available in the future.
To make this game look less like a man's world, Game Rant also speculated that EA and DICE might introduce female characters to join in the battle. Their first pick would be Princess Leia. Being the twin sister of Luke, son of Darth Vader, and someone who can beat the storm troopers with a blaster. Hence, she is a perfect candidate to add a bit of feminine touch in "Star Wars Battlefront."
Since the game would include parts of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," another possible female character would be Rey. During the D23 Expo, game developers announced the "Battle of Jakku" DLC pack set to be released on Dec. 8. This would lead fans to conclude that Rey would be part of the roster. The DLC would encourage gamers to watch "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens" on Dec. 17, 2015.
"Star Wars Battlefront" is set to be released on Nov. 17, 2015, just a month ahead of "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens."
