In 2015, EA launched Star Wars Battlefront, a game which went on to receive some pretty rave reviews. For gamers who were hankering for more such games, EA did tease the fact that there are multiple sequels planned for the franchise, and sure enough there are as EA has since announced Star Wars Battlefront 2.
Unfortunately details about the game are pretty scarce at the moment, but the publisher is expected to take the wraps off the game’s first trailer at the Star Wars Celebration 2017 which will be taking place mid-April. There will also be a panel called “The Galaxywide Premiere of Star Wars Battlefront II,” and it will feature members from the game’s development team, and will be kicking off at 2:30 PM ET on the 15th of April (Saturday). Gamers who are interested can check out the live stream via the Star Wars website.
As for a release date, it is still pretty much a mystery for now, although there is speculation that it could be released later this year. The game is currently being developed across three studios: DICE, Criterion, and Motive Studios. We did hear that as far as the story is concerned, it won’t be focused on the original trilogy, but rather it is expected to span across multiple eras of the Star Wars universe. In any case we should have the details in the coming weeks, so check back with us in the near future for more updates regarding Star Wars Battlefront 2!
