Star Wars Battlefront will have dedicated servers.
Talking to PlayStation LifeStyle at TGS, senior producer Jamie Keen confirmed that while it was recently reported that the sci-fi shooter will not offer a server browser, there will, however, still be dedicated servers in order to provide an “unparalleled” online service.
“We’ll still have dedicated servers. Absolutely,” said Keen. “It’s one of the hallmarks of making sure we deliver an unparalleled online [service] for the game.”
Keen recently gave more details about Star Wars Battlefront’s Hero System, where players can assume control of iconic, powerful characters from the Star Wars film saga.
“Our goal was to give an average player around two minutes as a Hero or Villain,” said Keen. “But if you’re good enough, you might stretch that to around five minutes. In theory, you could play as Luke Skywalker for a whole match, but that is extremely unlikely. That said, the gauntlet is thrown!”
Star Wars Battlefront is set to release on November 17, 2015 on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. EA revealed recently that the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront beta, which will be made available in early October, will be open to everyone.
