Star Wars: Battlefront Video Game Set For A November 2015 Release

OptimusPrime

2015 is going to be really a Star Wars year as Disney, the new owners of Lucas Films are making a full court press to go for the three point shot in December (if you play basketball, you'll get what I mean). We're getting more impatient expecting for the release of Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Awakens, and we all can't wait for December. With the release of the second trailer four days ago, the excitement just got even higher.

But if you haven't noticed, the day after the second trailer was released, Electronic Arts also made a big reveal that would make Star Wars fans in the gaming community, and I'm pretty sure  a good number of airsoft players, is the reveal of a first and third person video game called Star Wars: Battlefront:

The reveal trailer is quite extensive showing the Rebel Alliance and The Empire battling each other with all the familiar space fighters, walkers, and other speeder bikes (and full use of jetpacks now), I still cannot make out how a player will actually play this video game. Will the player be a vehicle pilot or a soldier ready to do battle against the empire on land or in space?

Electronic Arts sure knows how to make a trailer as it showed scenes that reminds us of the Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Furthermore, the movements of the soldiers and storm troopers in the trailer reminds of us of actions shown in recent FPS games such Titan Fall and Call of Duty Advanced: Warfare. The trailer is nicely done that apart from setting aside money for Episode 7 movie tickets, souvenirs, you might as well save more money for the release of Star Wars Battlefront.

This is going to be multiplayer game with the total number of players in any given battle will max at 40 players. The trailer probably is about "Walker Assault" which was reported by PC Gamer last week and it's going to be one of the biggest modes in the game. There will also be smaller missions that can be played as a single player or in cooperation with friend.

Still, we need more details. Will there be a Single Player Campaign or will it just be a multiplayer one? But if you are a hardcore Star Wars fan where you can talk about the transitions between one episode after the other, then you may just want a copy of the game. Star Wars: Battlefront will connect The Return of the Jedi to the Force Awakens with a downloadable content when it  gets released.

Star Wars: Battlefront will be released for the XBox One, Playstation 4 and Windows PC on the 17th of November 2015. Now, if someone will make those Rebel Alliance soldier costumes that I can use in an airsoft game (together with a Rebel Alliance airsoft rifle), they can take my money right now.

Now, here's the Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer. Welcome home Hans and Chewy!
