Star Wars Battlefront II Features Darth Vader

Star Wars Battlefront II is supposed to draw inspiration and inter-connect all three trilogies of the Star Wars universe into the same canon. With that, we already saw Darth Maul from The Phantom Menace and Kylo Ren from The Force Awakens. All that fans were eagerly waiting for was the most beloved villain of all time; Darth Vader of the original trilogies. Fortunately, that wait is over now and the Dark Lord of the Sith will join the front-line.

Good old Star Wars fans are always up for some force-choke or other feats of the force that he wields at his command. We are talking about a walking-talking red- lightsaber wielding playable Darth Vader that you will lead towards the battle and needless to say that, it sounds like boundless fun.

Although many had already speculated this but EA has now confirmed officially that Darth Vader will be a playable character in Battlefront II via Twitter and it is right below for you to check out.



The video displays an epic showdown of the Sith Lord as a player controls Darth Vader in-game, he is such a destructive force of nature and takes down everything in his path with ruthless efficiency. In Battlefront II, the Sith Lord is basically able to do almost everything we saw him capable on the original trilogy of Star Wars and that includes force-chocking rebel scums and drop them into places or throwing his lightsaber at enemies as it scythes through them. This one gives him an advantage to hit enemies over distance.

Using Star Cards, players will be able to customize Vader’s abilities, no matter what configuration they choose. The ability and excellent durability that is designed for Vader in Battlefront II won't fail to impress you whether or not you are a Star Wars fan.

Star Wars Battlefront II mainly focuses on Inferno Squad leader Iden Versio in its single-player story mode, which role is portrayed by actress Janina Gavankar. She joins the battle against the rebels after the destruction of the Death Star after the battle of Endor. However, Iden Versio is not the only playable character here. Battlefront II lets you play as characters from all the Star Wars eras like Boba Fett, Darth Maul, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Rey, Palpatine, Yoda and more.

Star Wars Battlefront II will keep you waiting until November 17 and then will be released worldwide to enjoy on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

    EA needs to scrap this freaking Play-to-Win system for Battlefront 2. That is simply absurd. Vader shouldn't fall like this. This is such a shame!

      Luke Skywalker follows the same fate too.

      Although they have reduced the credits needed to unlock Luke and Vader, there are still loopholes.
