The Hunter Becomes the Hunted in Star Wars Battlefront Hero Hunt

13th October, 0 replies

Electronic Arts has released more details on the different game modes included in Star Wars Battlefront now that the beta is winding down.

Yesterday, details were released on Cargo, the Capture the Flag-inspired game mode.

Today, Electronic Arts has unveiled information on some of the other game modes, including a one vs seven Hero Hunt game mode. In this mode one player is the hero or villain and the other seven players have to work together in order to take that person down.

"It’s fascinating to observe players spawning as a Hero or Villain," said lead level designer Dennis Brännvall. "People tend to react in two different ways when it happens. Some muscle up and shout ‘come at me!’ while others tend to, well, panic slightly when they realize they've got seven people on their tail. But after a few kills they get confident as well."

The person who performs the killing blow on the hero or villain takes their place. Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, and Boba Fett are just some of the iconic characters that the person designated the hero can play as.

"Hero Hunt is one of our fantasy-fulfilling game modes catering for those who want to divulge in epic, almost boss fight-like encounters with Star Wars™ characters," added Brännvall. "With a player count of eight it’s a smaller and more direct game mode, and perhaps not as tactical as for instance Supremacy - but still not without depth."

"Learn all the unique abilities of the Hero and Villain characters. Also, you should go for a divide-and-conquer strategy. Although you’re extremely powerful, you don’t want to run into a massive barrage of blaster fire."

Star Wars Battlefront releases on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC on November 17th.
