Game Modes

All Game Modes:

  • Campaign: The game includes a brand-new canon storyline which bridges the gap between Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi and Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, mainly focusing on the aftermath of the Battle of Endor.

  • Arcade: This game mode brings offline single-player (and two player co-op on consoles) gameplay with and versus AI-controlled players in different battle scenarios, as well as allowing players to create custom scenarios of their own.

  • Instant Action: This game mode is exactly like Capital Supremacy's ground phase, except with AI instead of players. Play on a number of Clone Wars, Rebel-Empire and Resistance-First Order era maps such as Theed, Kashyyyk, Death Star II, Hoth, Ajan Kloss and Takodana as either of the several factions. Instant Action also has an additional mode (called Instant Action Missions) in which players either attack or defend various command posts to advance or stop the attack. This feature was released in the Battle on Scarif update.

  • Multiplayer: Multiplayer includes different online game modes which can support up to 40 players simultaneously.

    • Galactic Assault: 20v20 battles with unique objectives for thirteen maps, which include Naboo, Geonosis, Kamino, Kashyyyk, Tatooine, Yavin 4, Hoth, Endor, the Second Death Star, Jakku, Takodana, Starkiller Base, and Crait. Participants can play as both troopers and heroes, as well as selected vehicles and starships depending on the map.

    • Starfighter Assault: 12v12 space battles with an additional 20 AI-controlled ships per team with unique objectives for maps both in space and in the skies of planets.

    • Strike: 8v8 mode where two teams compete in objective based scenarios.

    • Blast: 8v8 team deathmatch.

    • Heroes vs. Villains: 4v4 hero duels involving characters from all three eras.

    • Ewok Hunt: A tag-like gamemode where stormtroopers (starting with 18 troopers) face off against Ewoks (starting with 2 Ewoks) in the dark.

    • Hero Showdown: 2v2 hero duels involving characters from all three eras.

    • Extraction: A gamemode where a rebel team attempt to move a valuable shipment through imperial territory in close quarter combat.

    • Jetpack Cargo: A now removed mode where two teams try to capture a shipment. The first to three captures wins.

    • Hero Starfighter: 4v4 space battles with hero starfighters

    • Supremacy: A mode taking place in all 3 featuring five command posts that teams consisting of players and AI fight for control over. In Age of the Republic and Age of Resistance, the first team to reach 100% attacks the enemy team's capital ship, similar to conquest from Star Wars: Battlefront II (2005). If the attackers fail, both teams return to the ground phase of combat and keep fighting until one capital ship is destroyed. In Age of Rebellion, the mode is similar, but there is no ship phase.

    • Co-Op Missions: A mode where a team of 4 players and AI choose to take on the attacking or defending role against a team of AI.
