Star Wars Battlefront: EA May Announce New Hero at gamescom

DICE appears to be on the verge of announcing a new hero character for Star Wars Battlefront, most likely at gamescom next week. 

The EA Star Wars Facebook page posted an image of heroes and villains already revealed for the game. Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader are there, along with Bobba Fett and a blank space with a question mark. 

It could be anyone Han Solo, Chewbacca, or just about anyone else from the Star Wars universe.

EA's Patrick Soderlund yesterday spoke about the company's relationship with Disney, saying the Lucasfilm owner had been "very supportive". Soderlund said DICE has made numerous trips to the Star Wars Archives, Industrial Light & Magic, and Skywalker Sound to ensure the game is as authentic as possible. 

EA is hosting its gamescom press conference on Wednesday, August 5th at 10:00 CEST/09:00 BST/04:00 EST.   

Star Wars Battlefront launches on November 17th for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. You can check out EA's Facebook status and a new Stormtrooper poster below.
