At EA’s presentation for E3 2015, they debuted the much-anticipated first gameplay trailer for Star Wars Battlefront. The game, which reboots the popular series, is the first AAA title from the new EA-Disney partnership which will spawn ten years worth of console and PC games.

We saw and described in-depth the first gameplay footage at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim, but this is the first time footage has been available to the general public, and unlike the Celebration demo, centered on Endor, this video showed off Hoth in all its frozen glory.
During the presentation, EA also revealed new information about Battlefront.
Developer DICE says that Darth Vader “still has the ability to strike fear” with nothing but his mask. They emphasized what we covered back at Celebration, that every prop, vehicle, and costume is specially scanned in from the Lucasfilm Archives.
There are battles from 8 to 40 players in multiplayers, though the Missions mode lets you play alone or with a single friend. One of those missions is the DLC available just before Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits theaters, “The Battle of Jakku,” which helps fill-in the blanks between Return of the Jedi and the new film, and shows how that Star Destroyer crashed to the desert planet. A new screenshot was shown during the presentation that appears to feature Jakku.
Star Wars: Battlefront hits PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC November 17, 2015.
