‘Star Wars Battlefront’ Beta: Han Solo, Princess Leia Added To Roster?
"Star Wars Battlefront" already locked up iconic "Star Wars" characters Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, but other members from the family might be dropping in the game as well, specifically classic favorites Han Solo and Princess Leia.
According to a report from GameSpot, a user from Reddit called "TheeUberMedic" dug through the beta's program files and found a file called "characters.sb." By opening the file in Notepad, the user was able to uncover files that contained the names Han Solo, Princess Leia and the Emperor, pointing to the possibility that the three iconic characters from the original trilogy will be making an appearance in "Star Wars Battlefront."
Another user "radgamerdan" in the Reddit thread went one step further and provided voiceover files on SoundCloud for the upcoming characters. Short audio clips of Boba Fett, Han Solo, Princess Leia and the Emperor are available, plus the mysterious "Hero Hunt" game mode.
Although EA has only confirmed the appearance of Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and Boba Fett so far, it's likely they have a few more special characters up their sleeve.
"These are just some of the Heroes and Villains you can expect to encounter in Star Wars Battlefront," the official website stated. "We will be revealing more in the months ahead, as well as introducing a cast of memorable Star Wars characters you will interact with in Star Wars Battlefront."
In the recently released "Star Wars Battlefront" beta, only the previously announced characters Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker are included.
According to a report from Eurogamer, the Millenium Falcon will be playable as a power-up in the "Fighter Squadron" mode, so there is always the possibility of seeing Han Solo piloting the famed vehicle. Players will have to wait to see the lovable rogue in the actual game release as the Millenium Falcon power-up is not available in the current beta.
The Reddit thread revealed that "TheeUberMedic" also discovered the existence of game modes "Hero Hunt" and "Heroes vs Villains," which has reportedly been confirmed by EA.
Several multi-player game modes have already been announced including "Fighter Squadron," "Supremacy," "Walker Assault," "Blast" and "Drop Zone." The official website promised "more to be announced in the months ahead" plus additional details on other modes like "Cargo" and "Droid Run."
The "Star Wars Battlefront" for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC will hit the shelves on Nov. 17. The beta for the game is currently out and will last until Monday, Oct. 12.
