EA Announces Star Wars Battlefront II Release Date and More
Star Wars Battlefront II Release Date, Single Player Campaign, and More Announced by EA
Star Wars fans, rejoice!
If you were hoping for a new Star Wars video game release this year, your wish has been granted! EA just released a trailer and more information regarding the sequel to Star Wars Battlefront, Star Wars Battlefront II. The teaser contains hints at what the story will be about, as well as the inclusion of all three of the Star Wars film eras.
Star Wars Battlefront II will release worldwide on November 17, 2017. The story will focus on an elite Imperial squadron during the time between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. Iden Versio, the leader of Inferno Squadron, seeks revenge against the Rebellion for the destruction of the second Death Star and the death of the Emperor.
It should be interesting, it is rare that fans get a look at how things are on the other side. Seeing the perspective of the Imperial forces throughout the story should be entertaining to say the least.
As for multiplayer, Star Wars Battlefront II is looking to expand on the first one’s performance, including introducing new locations and new heroes from all eras, from the prequels to the new trilogy. It appears there will be more customization options available in this game as well, with customizable progression for soldiers, starfighters, and heroes/villains.
Pre-ordering Star Wars Battlefront II will give players the chance to get exclusive The Last Jedi looks for Rey and Kylo Ren, as well as the The Last Jedi version of the Millennium Falcon and a new First Order ship for space battles. Ordering the Star Wars Battlefront II: Elite Trooper Deluxe Edition will grant players three days of early access, and also upgrades for every trooper class.
Let’s hope with this sequel that EA has addressed fan concerns about lack of content with the first game. Things seem to be looking up with all the new customization options and the inclusion of the prequel era, as well as a brand new Star Wars story during a time we haven’t seen as much of yet!
Star Wars Battlefront II will release on November 17, 2017.
