– DICE™, an Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) studio, and
Lucasfilm announced today that Star Wars™ Battlefront™ will be
released beginning November 17, 2015 in North America (November

“Like so many others around the world, everyone at DICE is a
tremendous fan of the Star Wars universe,” said Sigurlina
Ingvarsdottir, Senior Producer of Star Wars Battlefront. “To be
working on a Star Wars project and knowing we are helping to

talent of our team, we plan to deliver an amazing game that puts

Star Wars Battlefront will allow fans to live out a wide range
of heroic moments and intense battle fantasies of their own –
firing blasters, riding speeder bikes and snow speeders,
commanding AT-ATs and piloting TIE fighters and the Millennium
Falcon. These battles will take place on some of the most iconic
planets in the Star Wars universe, including Endor, Hoth,
Tatooine and the previously unexplored planet, Sullust. Gamers
will be able to play as some of the most memorable characters in
the original trilogy such as Darth Vader and Boba Fett. Star
Wars Battlefront will feature a wide range of modes tailored for
different types of battles, from larger 40-person competitive
multiplayer to crafted missions that are played solo, with a
friend via split-screen offline or co-operatively online.
Fans who pre-order Star Wars Battlefront will be among the first
players to experience the Battle of Jakku*, the pivotal moment
when the New Republic confronted key Imperial holdouts on a
remote desert planet on the Outer Rim. Taking place in the
aftermath of the Rebel victory in the Battle of Endor, players
will experience the events that created the massive,
battle-scarred landscape of Jakku shown in Star Wars™: The Force
Awakens™. Players who pre-order Star Wars Battlefront can fight
the battle one-week early starting on December 1, 2015. All
other players will get access to this free† content on December
8, 2015.
