Debris is falling from the sky, telling the story of battles above. “We wanted to portray a battle completely surrounding you, in every direction. “The epic, huge super structures of the Star Destroyers contrast against the tiny but brave Rebel soldiers fighting the Imperial forces.” “There’s a David and Goliath theme to this,” says Grandert. Taking place in the aftermath of the Rebel victory in the Battle of Endor, players will experience the events that created the massive, battle-scarred landscape of Jakku shown in Star Wars™: The Force Awakens™.ĭICE Concept Artist Anton Grandert shares some thoughts on the shown artwork above:
