DICE Never Planned Star Wars: Battlefront to Have A Single-Player Campaign

We want players to "play the battles from the original movies."

Star Wars: Battlefront developer DICE has revealed that it never thought about adding a single-player mode to the game.

Bach responds by saying, although the release deadline "did influence [DICE's] decisions early on," it never reached the stage of concepting a single-player campaign.

"To be honest, single-player was never in the plan," he said. "It was never the concept."

He added: "The concept for us was always that we wanted players to re-live the battles. We wanted them to play the battles from the original movies. And DICE, coming from its Battlefield background, knows how to make awesome battles in that context."

Also in the interview, Back discussed about the quality of DICE's previous single-player campaigns. He was asked if the studio thought about hiring the talent required to improve its campaigns, given that publisher EA is becoming increasingly reliant on the studio for its big projects.

"Yes absolutely, and it's not as though we haven't done single-player before," he said. "I would agree with you, our single-player has not been as strong as our multiplayer.

"But then again you could argue that we are comparing our campaigns with what some say are the greatest multiplayer games in the world. If you try to match that, you are probably doomed for failure. Or at least, it's very, very hard."
