Electronic Arts has released the first trailer for Star Wars: Battlefront

This week has undoubtedly brought mass-swooning to Star Wars fans across the globe as not only has the second teaser trailer for the next film been released, Electronic Arts also gave us our first real look at the long-awaited addition to the Star Wars: Battlefront series. It’s been nearly a decade since the last game was released and there’s been no shortage of leaks and rumors about it, but nothing ever came of it until Disney bought Lucasfilm and handed development of the game over to Electronic Arts. 

Electronic Arts’ walled-off booth at Star Wars Celebration contains one of the show’s best-kept secrets, a lengthy video of the forthcoming Star Wars: Battlefront video game. The booth interior, which we were not allowed to take photos of, is designed to look like a Rebel Alliance briefing room, complete with a command terminal in the middle, and tiered seating for the pilots, soldiers, and less-important game journalists like myself. The setting screamed classic trilogy, and was the perfect fit for the demo DICE had on hand: a gameplay slice recreating the Battle of Endor from the film, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. The demo shows off the advancements of DICE’s Frostbite engine, and clearly illustrates what players can expect when the game launches on November 17 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
