It’s going to be full speed ahead in the closing months of 2017 as Disney and its Lucas Film will be fully promoting Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi which will be released this Christmas. But the marketing juggernaut leading up to its release will be leaving no prisoners, and together with it, the Star Wars: Battlefront II will be having video gamers battling for the galaxy again after the big success of Star Wars: Battlefront I.

EA revealed the first trailer of the Star Wars: Battlefront II last weekend and it is set in the 30 year gap between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. The opening scenes shows Iden Versio, the commander the Empire’s Inferno Squadron watching the destruction of the second Death Star whilst she was on Endor battling the rebellion. A human pilot who is the daughter of an imperial admiral and her mother an artist designing propaganda for the Empire, she dedicated herself to avenge the Emperor and hunt down those who were behind the destruction of the second death star, including Luke Skywalker.

Star Wars: Battlefront II shows the Galactic War from the eyes of the Empire.

The trailer is indeed a sleek and promises more heroes such as Darth Maul, Yoda, Kylo Ren, and Rey apart from the Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. What has been decided was to remove the DLC which the EA says causes fragmentation of players but what they are bringing is to allow the players to be able to command their own space ships, including the Millennium Falcon, and that means more space battles.

The multiplayer game spans three eras of Star Wars films that is what we see heroes of different generations in under one game. As for the maps, players will be able to battle it out on StarKiller Base, Mos Eisley, and Yavin 4.

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 is now available on pre-order for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC platforms and set for release on 17 November 2017.
