If we rewind time a bit, the fate of the Star Wars Battlefront series seemed uncertain, possibly even doomed. However, a recent announcement at the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase revealed the upcoming launch of the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection in the middle of March.

This doesn't guarantee a full revival or a fresh modern installment for Star Wars Battlefront. Yet, it hints at a potential future if the collection garners enough success. A new Battlefront iteration might not replicate the PvP structure exclusively. Imagine a PvE Star Wars Battlefront experience packed with the same adrenaline and style as Arrowhead's Helldivers 2.

Helldivers 2 Blueprint for a Thrilling PvE Star Wars Battlefront Game

Star Wars Universe Meets Helldivers' Intensity

Though Battlefront featured single-player campaigns and PvE modes, the focused PvE missions of Helldivers could be a game-changer for Battlefront. The intensity and chaos of battles in Helldivers 2, akin to Clone Wars clashes, could inject new life into a PvE Star Wars Battlefront.

A Different Yet Exciting Battlefront Experience

Imagine players engaging as clone troopers against relentless battle droids or rebel squads facing stormtroopers. While PvP allows for player faction choices, a PvE version would require picking sides. Customization options like character skins might take a back seat, making the game more straightforward compared to its PvP counterpart.

Navigating Past Microtransaction Concerns

One major hurdle for a Helldivers 2-inspired Battlefront game could be microtransactions. Helldivers 2 relies heavily on battle passes and in-game purchases for progression, a model that Star Wars Battlefront 2 struggled with in the past. Balancing these features in a PvE Battlefront game would be crucial for its success and player acceptance.
