Star Wars: Battlefront revealed

DICE, an Electronic Arts studio, and Lucasfilm announced today that Star Wars: Battlefront will be released beginning November 17, 2015 in North America (November 19 in Europe).

Combining a collaboration with Lucasfilm and the Frostbite game engine, Star Wars Battlefront promises authentic and immersive experience featuring photorealistic visuals and action in iconic Star Wars locations.

The game will allow fans to live out a range of heroic moments – firing blasters, riding speeder bikes and snow speeders, commanding AT-ATs and piloting TIE fighters and the Millennium Falcon. These battles will take place on some of the most iconic planets in the Star Wars universe, including Endor, Hoth, Tatooine and the previously unexplored planet, Sullust.

Gamers will be able to play as memorable characters in the original trilogy such as Darth Vader and Boba Fett. Star Wars Battlefront will feature a wide range of modes tailored for different types of battles, from larger 40-person competitive multiplayer to crafted missions that are played solo, with a friend via split-screen offline or co-operatively online.

Fans who pre-order Battlefront will be among the first players to experience the Battle of Jakku. Taking place in the aftermath of the Rebel victory in the Battle of Endor, players will experience the events that created the massive, battle-scarred landscape of Jakku shown in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Players who pre-order Star Wars Battlefront can fight the battle one-week early starting on December 1, 2015. All other players will get access to this free content on December 8, 2015.

Star Wars Battlefront will be available in North America on November 17 and starting November 19 in Europe for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and on Origin for PC.
