“ Star Wars Battlefront came out we got criticized for the depth and breadth of it. Söderlund admits that not including a traditional campaign was an error in judgement and seemed to indicate that next year’s sequel will include a more substantial single-player offering.
“It was a conscious decision we made due to time and being able to launch the game side-by-side with the movie that came out to get the strongest possible impact. “The one thing that we got criticized for was the lack of a single player campaign,” he said. According to the publisher, they were forced to cut the campaign in order to have the game out in time to coincide with the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.Īt EA’s Investor Day briefing this week, EA Studio’s boss Patrick Söderlund addressed the issue directly: Electronic Arts caught a lot of heat from disgruntled fans last November when they launched the long-awaited Star Wars Battlefront without a single-player campaign.
