EA has teased there will be more juicy details on DICE’s upcoming revival of Star Wars: Battlefront in the ”next couple of months”, with it due to release ”with the Star Wars movie rollout” later this year.
All we have right now is a painfully short teaser of a crashing Snowspeeder on Hoth with a stomping AT-AT. EA are ”extremely excited” about the ”huge potential” what with Star Wars gearing up again.
”More to come in the next couple of months on that as more about the movie comes out as well as more about our titles comes out, but you should consider that a very large activity for us next year and very large focus, similar to how we thought about Battlefields in the past,” said CFO Blake Jorgensen.
Star Wars: Battlefront will launch ”before Christmas”, he confirmed, but it’s unclear if it could arrive the same week as JJ Arbhams’ Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens in cinemas.
”Fight in epic Star Wars battles on iconic planets and rise through the ranks playing as the heroic Rebellion or the evil galactic Empire,” reads the official website. This confirms DICE will be using a Battlefield-style ranking system, with possible weapon and gear unlocks?
