Classes are not featured in the game, for the player is able to freely customize their weapons, character, Star Cards and hands, and traits. DICE based the game's AI off of the Star Wars films, but tweaked it to make it accessible. Each player is outfitted with a partner, and the duo are able to spawn on each other and share loadouts. Players are able to play as hero and villain characters such as Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker.
Instead of a single-player campaign, the game features a set of co-op missions that can be played alone, online, or offline with split-screen. The game has the option to switch at will between first-person mode and third-person mode, much like the previous entries in the series. Instead, it reinterprets the stories and battles presented in the original trilogy, alongside some battles presented in the novel Battlefront: Twilight Company such as the Siege of Inyusu Tor. Unlike previous Battlefront entries, this game does not have a story of its own. Fight in epic Star Wars battles on iconic planets and rise through the ranks playing as the heroic Rebellion or the evil Galactic Empire. Star Wars ™ Battlefront ™ is the ultimate Star Wars battle experience, brought to life by the creators of Battlefield.
