According to DICE’s associate design director Dennis Brannval, Star Wars Battlefront 2 will not feature the Conquest game mode.
Once EA confirmed that Star Wars Battlefront 2 is a go, fans were jumping from happiness knowing that once again they would be able to fight within the hugely popular movie franchise’s universe. Lots of fans have already started to put together Star Wars Battlefront 2 wishlists, hoping that couple of those features will be added to the game when it launches in 2017.
One of those features is the Conquest game mode, which lets players capture and hold strategic points on the map. The mode wasn’t part of 2015’s Star Wars Battlefront but fans were anxious to see the mode introduced in the 2017 follow up, with around 231 people (86% out of 269) voting yes for the mode in a fan-hosted Twitter poll.
Unfortunately for these fans, DICE’s associate design director, Dennis Brannval says that the development team won’t “go that far into our other franchise.” However, Bravnall says that there are “things to learn” from the Battlefield franchise, which uses the Conquest game mode and is also developed by DICE.
Battlefront fans are upset, which is understandable, but not because the Conquest mode is featured in other Battlefront games, Star Wars: Battlefront 1 and Star Wars: Battlefront 2. Star Wars Battlefront did introduce Supremacy mode and Branvall said earlier on the game’s website that it will “excite fans of the Conquest mode from Battlefield.” The director also explained how DICE has made “couple of tweaks to improve the formula” but according to the Twitter poll, not everyone approves of those tweaks.
Furthermore, some have suggested that DICE doesn’t want there to be too much extend between its widely popular franchises. Judging by the huge success of Battlefield 1, it’s difficult to imagine that the sharing of one game mode could affect that franchise’s sales, but DICE may want to play it safe just in case.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 will launch in fall 2017.
