Here’s a preview of a Cato Neimoidia map from Battlefront III
Get ready for a Cato Neimoidia map in Battlefront III: Legacy, a mod for Battlefront II.
A preview video of this map was released on YouTube earlier today and can be watched below.
According to a video by Star Wars HQ, El Fabrico, one of the modders on this project, said that this map will be ground-to-space. That fails in line with the mod’s other map from Battlefront III, which is set on Coruscant.
Additionally the Cato Neimoidia map will “look a lot better” graphically than the Coruscant map. From the YouTube description of the preview video:
“This map is going to look much better than Coruscant,” wrote El Fabrico. “The graphical quality will be increased there as well as the level of detail.”
El Fabrico further notes that “[s]o far the exterior is exactly like it was in” Battlefront III; however, “[c]rates, boxes, barrels and droids will be added.” Oh, and vehicles are coming, too (not that surprising, as it is planned to be ground-to-space, but cool nonetheless!).
Of course, Coruscant is currently playable in a beta form for those who own Battlefront II. I’ve really enjoyed my time playing that map and so I look forward to seeing what’s ahead for this mod!
In Star Wars lore, Cato Neimoidia is home to the Neimoidians, a race infamous for running the Trade Federation. The planet made a small cameo in Revenge of the Sith as Plo Koon died in Order 66 in planet’s atmosphere. Other appearances made by the planet include two episodes of The Clone Wars TV show (in seasons two and five) and the video game Force Unleashed II.
Check out the preview of the map below:
