Winner of more than 50 awards worldwide including the Best of Show

“Star Wars Battlefront is a game made by Star Wars™ fans
for Star Wars fans of all generations,” said Sigurlina

is truly authentic to this amazing universe, to allow them to immerse
themselves in these worlds with stunning visuals and remarkable sound,
and most importantly, to make sure the gameplay is exciting and fun.”
In Star Wars Battlefront, players will live out the battles
between the Rebellion and the Empire in the time period of the original Star
Wars trilogy. From large-scale multiplayer matches for up to 40
players to exciting Missions that can be played alone offline or with a
friend, the game delivers a wide variety of the Star Wars
experiences fans have been clamoring for. Drive speeder bikes at
breakneck speeds through Endor, crush Rebel scum in an AT-ST or AT-AT,
take to the skies in the Millennium Falcon or even become the ultimate
boss of a multiplayer match as one of the Star Wars universe’s
most iconic Heroes or Villains – Boba Fett, Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker,
Darth Vader and more.
“We have given DICE unprecedented access to the original source
materials and our creative teams and in turn, they have done an
incredible job of capturing the essence and spirit of the original
trilogy,” added Ada Duan, Vice President of Digital Business and
Franchise Management, Lucasfilm. “With Star Wars Battlefront
releasing this November, and Star Wars™: The Force Awakens coming
to theaters in just one month, there’s never been a better time to be a Star
Wars fan.”
