Our heroes will enter differently dependent on mode. Most rewarding is to work on a childhood dream Niklas Fegraeus added,
Louis Jobe @SuperJobe2290
@EAStarWars what was the most rewarding part of the development?, also will the characters be used as in game “heroes” like battlefront 2?

You will have great freedom in customizing your own playstyle, essentially creating your own playstyle Niklas Fegraeus added,
Austin @TheChromeKing
@DICEfigge @EAStarWars What character customization will be available in game? Surely there will be character/load out choices?

Split-screen is for local play only, so it is for when you play Missions with a friend Niklas Fegraeus added,

It is both different and similar in many ways. This is why we have done a reboot instead of calling it Battlefront 3 Niklas Fegraeus added,
