Star Wars Battlefront 2 is coming this fall, and gamers have already started raiding the game’s alpha files to find out more information about the upcoming shooter. Thanks to reddit user uninspired_zebra, a list of heroes and villains referenced in the game has been revealed.

The list of characters spans all three movie trilogies, and features both familiar faces and new characters from the latest films. Many of them also appear in the first Battlefront, such as Luke, Leia and more. These characters don’t represent all of the characters coming to the game, but probably is a good indication of who will be playable when the game launches.

The list of characters found in the alpha is as follows:

  • Boba Fett

  • Han Solo

  • Leia Organa

  • Luke Skywalker

  • Bossk

  • Chewbacca

  • Darth Vader

  • Emperor Palpatine

  • General Grievous

  • Iden Versio (the female protagonist from the single-player campaign)

  • Kylo Ren

  • Lando Calrissian

  • Darth Maul

  • Captain Phasma

  • Rey

  • Yoda

Additionally, uninspired_zebra also found character descriptions, as well as descriptions for each character’s abilities and weapons. Each has three listed abilities, similar to how heroes and villains worked in the first Star Wars Battlefront. Because this information is coming from game files, uninspired_zebra couldn’t find every character’s abilities listed.

It’s also not specified which era these characters will be from. While it’s safe to assume Rey will be like the Rey we see in Episode 7, Luke Skywalker could either be young or old, depending on which version of the character the game will use. Similarly, characters like Yoda, Emperor Palpatine and even Darth Maul all have been seen in the three different eras of Star Wars lore.

Likely, the prequel characters will be Grievous, Maul and maybe Yoda. The original trilogy characters will likely be Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, Vader, Lando, Palpatine, Bossk and Boba Fett. The new characters will include Iden, Kylo, Rey and Phasma.

Because this isn’t an official announcement from EA or DICE, this news should be taken with a grain of salt. Even if this news does turn out to be accurate, the game is still in alpha and plans could change. That said, this seems like a very thorough list of information, so it’s likely uninspired_zebra is telling the truth about finding these descriptors in the game’s files.

So what do you think? Are you excited by any characters on this list? Who else would you like to see enter the fight in Battlefront 2? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
