This latest instalment of the Battlefront series uses the acclaimed Frostbite 3 game engine that was initially developed by DICE, a Swedish subsidiary of Electronic Arts. After that, four other Battlefront games followed, each expanding on its predecessor and adding new missions, stories, options and characters.
That game received generally positive feedback and sold well. The very first Star Wars Battlefront game, carrying the exact same name as this 2015 version, was launched way back in 2004 and developed by Pandemic Studios for LucasArts.
