Star Wars: Battlefront, the PlayStation 4 first-person shooter in production at DICE, will include 12 multiplayer maps at launch – including Endor, Hoth, and Sullust. Writing as part of a blog post on its official website, the Swedish developer said that there'll be even more locations in the game "when you include the missions". These will be co-operative mini-campaigns, and will presumably be based upon memorable moments from the main trilogy.
Sullust itself is an Icelandic-esque planet, featuring freezing rock formations and bubbling lava. "It's very barren in a beautiful way," lead environment artist Andrew Hamilton explained. "We wanted to create a planet on our own, first trying out different ideas and then deciding on a lava planet," added concept artist Anton Grandert. The illustration embedded above is, admittedly, very cool – we're looking forward to seeing the location in action.

Can't decide whether to pre-order battlefront or wait. I hope they will announce a collectors edition because that will make the choice much easier.
@darkswabber I'd wait.
@get2sammyb that would probably be the smartest thing to do, I live in the netherlands so it doesn't matter if I pre-order now or a day before release, I still get all the bonusses XD. and in the netherlands you can reserve a game, it's exactly like pre-ordering the only difference is you don't have to pay immediately, you can wait until you have received the game, and if you don't like it (as long as you don't unwrap it) you can send it back. It even works with collectors editions.
You know what, my question was a dumb question in the first place XD, sorry to bother you.
I am definitely going to wait on this. As much as I am a fan of Star Wars and the Battlefront games, I can't help feel this is lacking in some crucial areas - things that Battlefront 2 delivered. Maybe by feeling disappointed and waiting, it may be more of surprise and better because of it.
