Report: Star Wars Battlefront II’s Story Mode Will Last 5-7 Hours

And May Continue If the Game Is Successful?

We’re getting a campaign story with Star Wars: Battlefront II, and while we are all excited, many of us have been wondering about the length. Since this is a debut story in the Star Wars universe, every second will count. Well, apparently, this particular story will clock in at 5-7 hours.

The report comes directly from Motive Studios in a quote to Press Start Australia. Studio producer David Robillard said the following:

“…we thought that around 5-7, maybe 8 hours is probably a good amount of time…we wanted to stay very driven towards the Star Wars fantasy that the players are going to experience and not have it be drawn out.”


5-7 hours can be considered fairly decent, so long as every hour is gripping. So far, just about every outlet has reported 90 minutes of fantastic gameplay with the first three chapters. You can join us in these chapters thanks to our hands-on preview session. But if you were hoping for more story in the game, Robillard commented, “We’re not ready to announce anything at this time, we’ll see based on the reception the single player has if we offer free DLC or not.”

In past news, we discovered that all multiplayer DLC would arrive for free. As time goes by, DICE will deliver more content to the game. At the same time, EA is adding microtransactions. If implemented correctly, they should have no bearing on PvP performance. But, we’ll just have to wait and see.

Star Wars Battlefront II arrives November 17 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Expect additional bits of news as we near release.

Happy gaming.
