Single player only. No microtransactions or lootboxes. Developed by Respawn Entertainment (Titanfall, Apex Legends) using Unreal Engine. Stars Cameron Monaghan as Cal Kestis, a Jedi Padawan who survived Order 66.
This is EA so we'll see but they probably needed to release a single player version and get a different team on this. Looks promising but not holding my breath.
Some positives are Respawn entertainment, using the Unreal Engine and it's single player so it should offer up somethng different and MORE THAN LIKELY NO loot boxes. [Reply]

I agree mostly and I never really overreacted to loot boxes as long as it's just cosmetics. That being said it's EA and no one will believe them until the game has been out 2 or 3 years without loot boxes. [Reply]
I've long accepted that we'll never get another Kyle Katarn game, but this is just as good.
Single player, set in an era after the prequels, Empire running around doing cool shit, probably some cool levels, lightsabers, force powers, killing stormtroopers.
It'll be fun as long as I can play with keyboard and mouse. [Reply]
EA makes me VERY skeptical about purchasing this....but we've been craving a good Star Wars game for decades. Battlefront was a god damn mess. I hope to God they've learned their lesson on that (probably haven't)..can't really tell anything off of a trailer that doesn't show any gameplay...wonder why?
I just wish there was an open world (universe) game where you can fly/travel from planet to planet, have missions etc...kinda like a GTA type game, where you can be a Jedi in training, become an apprentice, battle the empire, fly the Falcon, have personal droids, fly Xwings and have space battles, also allows you to play the other side of the card where you can be the empire and train under Vader or something and you could do missions, fly in Tiefighters etc. There is SO much they could do w/ a Star Wars game, but it never gets done. Battlefront was a half assed mess. [Reply]
