ORIGINAL: EA have shared some fresh information on the multiplayer settings for Star Wars Battlefront.

It's been confirmed that Battlefront will launch with 12 maps, with a further two added through the Battle of Jakku DLC.

EA have also revealed that the planet Sullust will join the list of confirmed locations which currently includes Endor, Hoth and Tatooine, while more locations are also set to be included from the game's 'Missions mode'.

An EA blogpost reads: "Of the 12 multiplayer maps in Star Wars Battlefront (there are even more locations when you include the Star Wars Battlefront Missions), some feel immediately familiar — such as the lush forests of Endor or the tundra of Hoth that allow you to re-live your favorite moments from the films.

Different areas of the included planets will play host for these maps, with Sullust proving the trickiest for the DICE team to bring to the big screen.

Having been mentioned in Return of the Jedi but never shown, it meant a field trip to Iceland had to be taken to build the planet's surface from scratch.

The EA blogpost added: " It took a while to nail down the specifics but once completed, the team presented the design and direction to Lucasfilm. Working in collaboration with the teams at Lucasfilm, it was decided that this visual design would be a perfect look for the planet Sullust, mentioned but not seen in Return of the Jedi.
