EA, DICE, Motive, and Criterion have teamed up for Star Wars Battlefront II. The reveal came earlier today at the Star Wars Celebration where a new trailer for the game was shown for the first time to the public, including an announcement of a November 17 release date.

Star Wars Battlefront II will include content from the franchise in both its multiplayer and single player campaign. That's right, there is now a single player campaign in the Battlefront series.
Star Wars Battlefront II will allow players to experience the untold story of an Imperial elite special forces soldier in an all-new single player campaign. In epic multiplayer battles, players will be able to pilot a First Order TIE fighter through intense dogfights in space, and play as ground troopers or iconic heroes and villains, such as Yoda and Darth Maul, across all three Star Wars eras.

Featuring new characters created by Motive in close partnership with the story group at Lucasfilm, the Star Wars Battlefront II single player campaign will deliver a new exciting story to the Star Wars universe. Taking place in the 30 years between the destruction of Death Star II and through the rise of the First Order, the single player story introduces Iden Versio, the leader of Inferno Squad, an elite special forces unit of the Galactic Empire, who are equally lethal on the ground and in space. In addition to Iden, players will also encounter and play as other iconic Star Wars heroes and villains like Luke Skywalker and Kylo Ren during the campaign.

Multiplayer in Battlefront II will support modes with up to 40 players at a time. Locations for the maps will span across the entire movie franchise from the prequels, to the original trilogy, and even the new trilogy. You will get to fight in locations such as Yavin 4 and its jungle canopies, Mos Eisley, and Starkiller Base. There will be a variety of land and air vehicles alongside customizable heroes, villains, troopers, and starfighters with their own progression.

Starfighters? Yes, Starfighters. One of the most fan requested modes is coming to Battlefront II. Players will be able to take part in "galactic-scale space combat" this time around. The vehicles have been redone with better handling, weapons, and customization options of their own.
Fans who pre-order Star Wars Battlefront II can join the excitement of the theatrical release of Star Wars™: The Last Jedi™, with content inspired by the upcoming film including exclusive* Kylo Ren and Rey themed looks†. Players can also equip both characters with epic ability upgrades in multiplayer. Additionally, when taking the fight to space, players can upgrade to the Star Wars: The Last Jedi Millennium Falcon and a new First Order ship.

Players that order the Star Wars Battlefront II: Elite Trooper Deluxe Edition will not only have access to all the Star Wars: The Last Jedi inspired pre-order content, found in Star Wars Battlefront II: The Last Jedi Heroes, but can also dominate the battlefront as the ultimate Star Wars elite trooper. Every trooper class will receive upgrades, delivering superior firepower, deadly weapon modifications and epic combat abilities. Deluxe Edition owners will also get a head start on the battlefront, being able to jump into the game up to three days early.

The game will also feature offline split-screen coop on the PS4 and XB1. Sony confirmed that the story in Battlefront II will be canon in the Star Wars universe.

Star Wars Battlefront II will be released on November 17 for the PC (via Origin), Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
