Perhaps rivaling the official introduction of the porg community as the most exciting thing coming down the Star Wars pike in the immediate future (well, depending on who you ask) is Star Wars Battlefront II, the heavily anticipated follow-up to the popular (though hardly flawless) Battlefront reboot that launched across PlayStation and Microsoft consoles two years back. Abetting excitement in the new title is the advertised effort to improve on communally maligned components of 2015’s Battlefront, chief among them being the game’s sparse and, if you ask some, downright shoddy single-player mode.
With that in mind, we look at Battlefront II‘s new single-player campaign trailer, which lays out the mode’s narrative and hints of the gameplay featured therein. If the video is any reliable indication, fans should be encouraged to expect a far more engaging and vividly colored single-player campaign in Star Wars Battlefront II; centering on Iden Versio, a Commander-ranking officer in the Galactic Empire and inevitable de facto leader of the rebel-hunting Inferno Squad, as she seeks vengeance upon the team of rogue warriors who destroyed the original Death Star.
Though the notion of siding against Luke Skywalker and his proverbial band of brothers may present some internal qualms, there should be significant less conflict about how exciting—and, what’s more, visually dazzling—Star Wars Battlefront II‘s single-player campaign looks to be. Let us know in the comments if you’ll be picking up a copy, and if you have high hopes for an improvement on the 2015 game’s single-player mode.
