The official Star Wars Battlefront site just updated their Modes listings, giving better detail on what players will have to accomplish in each mode. Along with these modes, EA also announced a Season Pass that will give players access to four upcoming packs.
While we've already known all the names for every mode, courtesy of the Beta having listed them all, now we can get a better sense of what the objectives will be.
All the descriptions (italicized) below are taken directly from the official Star Wars Battlefront Mode page.
Fighter Squadron
Take to the skies and dogfight in some of the most memorable Star Wars vehicles including X-wings, TIE fighters, the Millennium Falcon and more.
This one we've already seen a trailer for (see above), and even without it, it was obvious what players will be doing here.
Supremacy
Rebels and Imperials fight for control of five key points in this intense 40-player clash that takes place on some of the largest maps in Star Wars Battlefront. Take advantage of both ground and air vehicles in order to secure victory for your team.
This mode is closer to Battlefield's Conquest modes.
Cargo
A thrilling tug-of-war experience for fans of Star Wars and capture the flag gameplay. Cargo challenges your team to capture valuable cargo boxes from the opposing team. Get the loot and make your way back to your base – but don’t forget to defend your own precious cargo as each capture counts.
As the description reads, pretty basic capture the flag mode, though with a Star Wars coat of paint. The twist here is that you don't have to capture your own cargo.
Droid Run
Six Rebels and six Imperials fight to capture and hold on to three GNK Power Droids™. These are the Droids you’re looking for. GONK!
The description here isn't as in depth but this page gives a better idea of what players can expect. Though it looks like this might be similar to Drop Zone, where players have to capture a certain point on the map, in this case droids, and defend them until a timer runs out. Though unlike Drop Zone, these little guys are on the move and need to be caught first.
Walker Assault
Fight in epic 40-player battles as a Rebel to destroy the Empire's onslaught of AT-AT's by calling in Y-wing bombers. Or, side with the Empire and protect your Walkers while utilizing their mighty weaponry to crush the Rebel objective.
We've played this one (chances are you did too), and it's pure chaos.
Blast
A classic Team Deathmatch mode with a Star Wars Battlefront twist. Fast-paced and packed with chaotic fun, Blast pits 10 Rebels against 10 Imperials in a fight to the finish.
What's more to say about this one, it's Team Deathmatch with an edgy (I guess?) name.
Drop Zone
Keep an eye on the sky! Escape pods are crashing down onto the planetary surfaces and your team must fight for control over them. Drop Zone provides frantic 8v8 matches that will put your combat and strategic skills to the test.
This one was also part of the beta. Capture pods as they spawn on the map, and hold them until the timer runs out. Attacking players then have to get to the pod and activate it to capture it for their team.
Heroes vs Villains
The most valiant Heroes and cunning Villains of the galaxy are clashing in this epic Star Wars Battlefront mode. Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and other iconic characters will be part of your team together with ground troopers. Keep your Heroes and Villains alive to score points and win the battle.
Pretty cool mode. Not sure whether players themselves are the heroes too, or whether players are protecting an NPC hero, but it does sound potentially fun.
Hero Hunt
Seven Imperials against Luke Skywalker? Seven Rebels battling it out against Boba Fett? In Hero Hunt, one player will experience the thrill of playing as an iconic Star Wars Battlefront Hero or Villain, facing off against ground troops from the opposing faction. Want to play as the Hero? Take them out and you’ll get your chance, but remember, once you become the Hero the hunt is on.
Definitely one of the cooler modes. One player is a Hero character, while the other players are regular infantry, trying to take them down.
