EA and DICE have lifted the lid off the highly anticipated Star Wars: Battlefront 2, with a slick and explosive trailer detailing the game’s single-player campaign and multiplayer.
The game promises to be an evolution of the first game’s best traits, with DICE working to improve the multiplayer and deliver the quintessential Battlefront experience for fans.
Set to hit PC, Xbox One and PS4 on November 17, Battlefront 2 is now available for pre-order.
You can jump right into battle with the Elite Trooper Deluxe Edition, which is currently priced digitally for $119.70 AUD, or $107.73 AUD for EA Access members.
Buying the Deluxe Edition grants you early access to the game, playable from three days before launch.

The recently revealed trailer for Battlefront 2 focuses a lot on the game’s story, a far cry from the multiplayer-only outing available in 2015’s entry.
We will indeed be getting a single-play campaign with a fully fleshed story, something fans have been crying out for since Battlefront was first revealed to be getting the reboot treatment at DICE HQ.
We know a few details about the story, including that it takes place immediately after Return Of The Jedi. In the trailer we can see the second Death Star exploding, as was the case at the end of ROTJ.
From the dialogue in the trailer we can gather that our main “protagonist”, or playable character, or whatever you want to call her, is fighting for the Empire, and aims to avenge the Emperor.
Iden Versio is the playable character, and DICE appears intent on showing a structured, coherent perspective of the Empire’s objectives, and why it so aggressively battles the Rebellion for control of the galaxy.
Star Wars: Battlefront 2 launches November 17 on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
