'Star Wars Battlefront' (ALL) Details PS4 Exclusive Rogue One: X-wing VR Mission

Star Wars Battlefront will deliver an incredibly authentic and immersive interactive entertainment experience featuring photo-realistic visuals and epic action in iconic Star Wars locations.

Star Wars Battlefront will allow fans to live out a wide range of heroic moments and intense battle fantasies of their own – firing blasters, riding speeder bikes and snow speeders, commanding AT-ATs and piloting TIE fighters and the Millennium Falcon.

These battles will take place on some of the most iconic planets in the Star Wars universe, including Endor, Hoth, Tatooine and the previously unexplored planet, Sullust.

Gamers will be able to play as some of the most memorable characters in the original trilogy such as Darth Vader and Boba Fett.

Star Wars Battlefront will feature a wide range of modes tailored for different types of battles, from larger 40-person competitive multiplayer to crafted missions that are played solo, with a friend via split-screen offline or co-operatively online.

Star Wars Battlefront Rogue One: X-wing VR Mission is an extension of the base game, which is known as a truly authentic Star Wars video game. It’s been really important for Criterion to hit that high bar, working closely with Lucasfilm to ensure that the VR experience is fun and exciting for Star Wars fans.

The Star Destroyer is huge and powerful with a belly full of TIE fighters. Being in a fight with a Star Destroyer is not a situation an X-wing pilot wants to find themselves in, but that’s where the player ends up. The player will have to keep their wits about them, with intense battle ensuing from every direction, to keep them and their wingmen alive as they complete a critical mission for the Rebellion.

Rogue One is in the same time period the base game covers, so to be relevant in the ever-evolving Star Wars universe Criterion Games have been able to work with Lucasfilm to make the connection here.

The VR Mission will be available for free to all owners of Star Wars Battlefront and a PlayStation VR headset on PS4.
