Star Wars Battlefront’s maps will have different events going on in the background depending on which side is winning the game, DICE has confirmed.
In an interview with IGN, DICE general manager Patrick Bach confirmed the new mechanic and how it works.
“We have a concept we call Battle Beyond,” he said, “The cool thing with this is it’s actually part of the player feedback. So depending on which side is winning or losing, these events actually change.”
The atmosphere of the battle will reflect the flow of the match. The dominant team will see events going on in the background that display their efforts paying off in the greater conflict. For example, on Tattooine, a Rebel Alliance win will see a flaming Star Destroyer plummet into the planet.
“It’s what you usually do in a UI, you make it bluntly obvious. It’s slowly hinting at who’s winning, and I think it’s a brilliant concept to give you the information and emotion you need to understand or change your plans…. You don’t need a gauge blinking. It’s part of the world.”
Star Wars Battlefront launches November 20 on PS4, Xbox One and PC
