Like so many others around the world, everyone at DICE is a tremendous fan of the Star Wars universe. To be working on a Star Wars project and knowing we are helping to represent the universe we love to our generation and a legion of new Star Wars fans is truly an honor. Thanks to the access and knowledge shared with us by Lucasfilm, and the passion and talent of our team, we plan to deliver an amazing game that puts you right in the middle of the Star Wars battles you always imagined playing.
If you haven’t heard already, the Star Wars Battlefront will let you battle it out on foot, in ground vehicles and through the air with spaceships. The game will support up to 40 players online in addition to switchable first and third person perspectives. Last but not least, iconic characters such as Boba Fett and Darth Vader are playable as well.
The Star Wars Battlefront release date is set for the 17th of November, around a month before the theatrical release of the Star Wars The Force Awakens movie.
