Star Wars: Battlefront 2 already looks like it could be everything the first installment should have been. With a full single-player campaign, all eras included in multiplayer, the availability of actual classes, customizable weapons, and a promise of all future DLC packs to be completely free, players have taken a cautiously optimistic view of the upcoming sci-fi shooter. That said, we've had precious little information with regards to the amount of playable maps in Battlefront 2, with few locations confirmed beyond the city of Theed on Naboo.

Luckily for us, fans of the series on the Star Wars: Battlefront SubReddit have pieced together some probable settings behind a seemingly enigmatic Tweet that recently appeared over the EAStarWars Twitter account. The message read:
CLASSIFIED: #STARWARSBATTLEFRONTII GALACTIC ASSAULT LOCATIONS
BEGIN DECODING…— EA Star Wars (@EAStarWars) September 18, 2017
For an entire galaxy, there's a surprisingly limited number of known planets, which has made the task of deciphering the "coded message" above an easy task for one user. /u/ialwayswinFlash7 has put forward a short list of the most likely candidates for Battlefront 2's playable maps. Check it out:
Naboo
Kamino
Kashyyyk
Endor
Death Star II
Hoth
Mos Isley
Yavin IV
Jakku
Takodana
Starkiller Base
While 11 maps doesn't seem particularly impressive, it's important to remember the state in which the first installment launched. Battlefront contained a mere four planets on release, with three game modes available for each. This means that the above list could hint at nearly 33 maps for the entire game - though it's more likely that we'll be seeing a smaller number, given the studio's finite resources and the inclusion of a single-player campaign.
Star Wars: Battlefront 2 launches on November 17 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC for $59.99. For more information, feel free to follow the developers over Twitter, or check out the official website for access to media trailers, community discussions, and more.
