Good Gamers is recreating Star Wars: Battlefront inside Fortnite

A Fortnite creator studio is using the platform to build its own version of Star Wars Battlefront. Good Gamers plans to publish its latest Fortnite map, Frontlines, this Friday, May 1. The Fortnite studio used Epic Games’ officially licensed Star Wars assets, released last month, to build the game, populating it with virtual worlds, characters, items and sound effects plucked directly from the galaxy of Star Wars. The similarities between Frontlines and classic Star Wars content run deeper than just aesthetics and visual assets. Replete with player classes, Jedi heroes and capturable spawn points, Frontlines takes clear inspiration from the popular Star Wars: Battlefront shooter game series. Good Gamers is deliberately avoiding drawing explicit parallels between Battlefront and Frontlines in the company’s official messaging — but it doesn’t need to. Star Wars fans are naturally recognizing the similarities, with prominent social accounts like Culture Crave describing Frontlines as a “Battlefront game mode” in organic social posts. “People are like, ‘Battlefront is so back, oh my gosh — it’s Battlefront 3,’ just because people recognize the gameplay,” said Good Gamers community director and developer Ryan “Toaster” Borges in an interview with GamesBeat. “We’ve gotten well over 6 million impressions at this point, and that’s from both our account and from other accounts just posting about us.” Good Gamers is one of the most prominent creator studios on Fortnite, and its experience Go Goated is the platform’s most-favorited island. When Good Gamers publishes a new experience, Fortnite players tune in. But the organic excitement around Frontlines reflects more than just the studio’s fan base; it shows the mounting desire for a new Battlefront game for fans of a series that hasn’t seen the release of a new main installment since 2017. “We’re at the point now where we’ve reached the Star Wars community — not just the Fortnite community, but Star Wars lore accounts, Star Wars: Battlefront fan accounts,” said Good Gamers partnerships lead Zack Billingham in an interview with GamesBeat. “Through X and Instagram, we’ve seen comments from people telling people how to play this game. So, people who might never have played Fortnite, or who haven’t played Fortnite since Chapter Two, are discovering the concept of creator-made Fortnite islands.” Good Gamers is bringing its full creative operation to bear to produce Frontlines. Epic Games’ official Star Wars asset pack didn’t include voice lines, so Good Gamers commissioned voice actors to record nearly 500 custom lines for characters to express during gameplay. The company also created its own soundtrack for the game inspired by John Williams’ iconic Star Wars score, and coded custom non-player characters to make gameplay as realistic as possible. “We have so many Star Wars fans on the team that we were just confident, when posting about it, that it would be exciting,” Billingham said. Frontlines is not going to be the only Battlefront-inspired game in town. With a wealth of Star Wars assets at their fingertips, Fortnite creators large and small have spent the last month racing to put their own spin on all manner of classic Star Wars games, including Battlefront. But Good Gamers is confident that its stable of developer talent and native understanding of the Fortnite audience will propel its game to success. “It seems like a little bit of a race of who’s going to make the best Battlefront. It’s just a game that everyone really enjoyed, no matter what year they were born in,” Borges said. “There’s the, you know classic 2006 game; there’s the more modern 2016 one that I personally played. It’s just something that’s classic, and has always been around. To bring a new version of it to life through Fortnite is just a dream come true.” The post Good Gamers is recreating Star Wars: Battlefront inside Fortnite appeared first on GamesBeat.
