Exciting New Trailer For STAR WARS: BATTLEFRONT II Takes Us Behind the Story
A new trailer has been released for the highly anticipated game Star Wars: Battlefront II. It's called "Behind the Story" and it features the creators talking about their game and the story that it tells. The trailer was revealed at the D23 Expo and there's a lot of excitement for it. It definitely seems like a big leap forward from the first Star Wars: Battlefront game. It's giving fans all of the things that the first game was lacking and it seems to tell a great story that is canon! I'm pretty excited to finally be able to play this game.
Star Wars Battlefront II is bringing an all new hero into the fold with the introduction of Iden Versio, the Commander of the Imperial special forces team known as the Inferno Squad. The game’s single player campaign will introduce fans to a story told from the unique perspective of the empire that helps bridge the gap between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. Along with a new hero, the story will also bring fans to new locations like Iden’s home planet of Vardos and other new elements authentic to the larger Star Wars universe, as a result of the close collaboration with Motive and Lucasfilm Story group who worked hand in hand through every step of the process.
Star Wars Battlefront II will be available on November 17th, 2017 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and on Origin for PC. I included additional details from the press release below the video.
Here are additional details from the press release:
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.
In addition to the all-new single player campaign, the team at DICE is evolving the game’s multiplayer to become the ultimate Star Wars battleground. With modes supporting up to 40 players, Star Wars Battlefront II takes fans through a wide range of iconic locations from all three eras: prequel, classic and new trilogy, including new in-game locations such as Yavin 4’s jungle canopies, the spaceport town of Mos Eisley, and Starkiller Base. Players can choose from an array of land and air vehicles and master their own hero’s journey, with customizable character progression across heroes, villains, troopers and starfighters.
As one of the most requested fan modes, galactic-scale space combat is also brought to life in Star Wars Battlefront II. Criterion, with a deep history of creating some of gaming’s fastest and intuitive vehicles, has built space combat from the ground up with refined handling, weapons, and customization options. Players can drop into the cockpit of the galaxy’s most iconic ships, weave between asteroid fields and fly through imperial dockyards in high stakes dogfights.
