Star Wars Battlefront 2 official, full trailer coming

Electronic Arts has confirmed the sequel to Star Wars Battlefront, revealing the name and that a full trailer will be available mid-April.

Unsurprisingly, the next game in the series is officially called “Star Wars Battlefront II”, with a logo published by the games publisher on its own website.

EA also said that the full trailer will be premiered at Star Wars Celebration on 15 April at 2.30pm EST (7.30pm BST). It will be livestreamed from the convention along with a panel session involving Dice, Criterion and Motive developers, who will talk about the forthcoming game.

Battlefront 2 is expected for release later this year, most likely in the fall. It’ll likely be available for the same platforms as the two-year-old remake: PS4, Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs. The last game was released on 17 November 2015 so we think it’ll be in the same area this time around.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi, otherwise known as Episode VIII, will hit UK cinemas on 15 December, so it seems about right.

We also expect to see and even play some of the game at this year’s E3 videogames convention in June. It is highly possible that levels based on The Last Jedi will be available soon after release as DLC.

It has also been previously said that there will be a single-player campaign with this year’s edition.
