No hope for new outfits in current Battlefront; has sequel soundtrack work begun?
While not shocking, Battlefront producer Paul Keslin recently confirmed that the 2015 edition of the franchise won’t receive any new outfits.
Keslin confirmed this fact via Twitter:
@josephbrett20 We commented on this a while ago and unfortunately we won't be doing more costumes.

Considering where DICE is at with production on the current Battlefront, this isn’t all that surprising.
Keslin confirmed earlier in December on the Battlefront Podcast that the previously-mentioned Death Star outfits for Luke and Han had been scrapped. His recent tweet adds a bit more specificity as it confirms no new outfits in any form.
As for more information on Battlefront 2, Keslin declined to discuss that topic, saying that he “[c]an’t talk about the game yet.”
However, members of the DICE team (including Keslin) recently visited London’s Abbey Road Studios, a recording studio most famous as the recording home for the 1960s band the Beatles. DICE’s journey was for music performed by the London Symphony Orchestra.
The London Symphony Orchestra has performed the score for the majority of the Star Wars films and did the soundtrack for the 2015 Battlefront game. With that in mind, it seems plausible that DICE’s visit was for some soundtrack work on Battlefront 2, although that’s far from confirmed.
Gordy Haab composed the original music for the 2015 Battlefront (including the Season Pass content), but the composer for the sequel hasn’t been announced just yet.
