DICE Devs Tease Upcoming Star Wars Battlefront Trailer. The Game to be First Available on XBOX ONE?

BattlefrontWe’re just three days away from DICE’s panel at this year’s Star Wars Celebration convention on April 17, 10:30 AM PT. The long anticipated event will feature the first Star Wars Battlefront trailer featuring in game footage. Now a few DICE developers took to Twitter to share their excitement about the ambitious project.

 

 

First, the official Instagram page for Electronic Arts Star Wars, started posting images with parts of a Stormtrooper’s body, teasing the upcoming trailer.

Then EA’s Twitter account posted the following:

 

 

 

And while EA tweeted that the game will be available for PS4, XB1 and PC it appears that the XB1 users might be the first to witness the release. At least according to Microsoft game marketing lead Aaron Greenberg:

 

 

Next  worldsfactory.net noticed some interesting tweets by few DICE developers:   Gameplay Analyst Christian Johannesén and Global Community Manager Vincent V. Vukovic, took to Twitter to threatened to break the Internet with the reveal of the Star Wars Battlefront trailer.  

 

 

Dennis Brännvall, Lead Level Designer at DICE, already confirmed a few days ago that the trailer will show in-game visuals:  

 

 

Also Twitter user Tidux, an insider from the game industry, claimed to have seen the trailer and backed up the EA Devs’ words that the Internet will “break” after watching it.

 


Finally, there is a certain image making the rounds, which supposedly hints at the new trailer. That image is actually from the footage shown last year at E3, so it’s nothing new:

And while we wait for the new trailer to hit the web in 3 days time, lets enjoy the teaser and the E3 footage from last year, one more time:

    Yes!! We will finally get to see this epic game after 2 years of nothing. It may be the call of duty and battlefield killer. I like both but I hope so.

      you are kidding yourself. it will never even come close to killing those franchises…not only because it wont be as good ( because it wont be…sad but true), but not everyone is a star wars fan. the release of Black ops 3 and world at war 2 will put this game to shame.

        Agreed that it won’t kill franchises because the others are quite popular, but I don’t see what makes you think it won’t be good. All the trailers and such seem promising and people are so hungry for good Star Wars that even if it’s a mediocre re-skin people will still eat it up and love it. Plus it’s going to preview some episode 7 stuff so that alone has me pumped up

          Hell, all I want is a reskinned Battlefield 4. Anything more is gravy.

    Keep buying shit EA games, BF4 garbage Hardline even more garbage and now Battlefront with its agressive marketing campain to sell DLC.Sad suckers …

      I was never forced to buy Hardline so I didn’t. Also I bought BF4 premium at a low price and get all the DLC there is. I don’t regret it. Never paid a dime more on it since then.

      Battlepacks are useless so I don’t buy those either.

    Hopefully the Frostbite engine they started with was the patched version which doesn’t freeze my computer and crash when it “loses connection”

    Do we know if there will be land to air to space capability and jedi characters such as in BF2? I would love the opportunity to even select which hero I use in the battle, and option that wasn’t in BF2 but would have made it amazing. Imagine playing as Jedi Luke whoopin on storm troopers on every level and then jumping into an x wing and taking it to star destroyers in space!

      They confirmed that space to land battles would be a focus in this game. No word on if Jedi are playable but we do know that kill streaks build points to unlock “hero” characters which I presume will be mostly Jedi.

      We will be having a new comment system for May the 4th, and it’s not going to be Disqus. There are too many limitations there.

        I guess May 3rd might well be my last day chatting here then. One of the main reasons I like to post here, aside from the community it self, is that this site did not use Disqus. I refuse to give them the privacy information they demand.

      Don’t expect much to be launched on 360 or ps3 in any more. Get ready to lay down some cash on an Xbox1 or a PS4.

    i am tired of hearing how badass it looks. the last games looked badass for its generation of technology too…but the games sucked terribly. just like Call of Duty: GHOST…that game had top of the line next gen technology…but it is the shittiest game in the Call of Duty series.
    I hope they focused on game play for a change, rather than visuals. I would rather have a badass game that makes me want to play it all the time, rather than something that looks beautiful, but you could care less because the game is stupid. look at a game like world of warcraft….the graphics are garbage, but yet millions of people still play it everyday. the other battlefront games got old and put back in t heir cases to gather dust within a week.. i got my fingers crossed, but cant help to not even be excited about it. im more interested in seeing the cool cut scenes and that is kind of sad….

      Duke, you are the most sad sack ever. Have you ever had a thought, opinion or moment in your life that didn’t leave people, yourself included, lookin for the nearest way to off themselves? I’ve gotten on this site for over a year, and everytime I see your name pop up in the comments, I automatically here the Debbie Downer theme from SNL in my head. WOOMP WOOOMP WOOOOOOOMPppppp…

            Are you still going on? The fact that you’re even replying to me means you enjoy it. So if you’re done trying to start a scene, move along.

            “Starting a scene” on internet comment boards, yes cause that’s so very possible. I can see riots starting soon. If you’d like to know my true diabolical intentions of replying, or commenting about your crap attitude in the first place….it’s how I plan on taking over the world. Honestly, negativity just sickens me, and it seems to be a rampant disease these days. Felt the need to call you out. That is all.

    Its difficult to tell if I`m a massive cheapskate or just have money sense. Anyway I probably won`t get to play this game for a long time (maybe not at all) unless its available on pc in particularly on steam. I never buy stuff unless its a Christmas/holiday sale, where they have like 70 or 80% discounts or more. No way I would pay full price, when a month or so down the line after I played it and its forgotten about and the novelty has worn off. After it will just end up mothballed in my game library. I will get it for peanuts or not at all.

        I would only know that if I was really into the scene and read up on all the latest news, which I don`t. Anyway as I suspected I`ll never get to play it(I`m on steam level 2 and have 5 games in 3 years). I`m more into table top strategy board/card games.

        Wait- why isn’t it going to be on steam? All the other battlefronts are. Is it because EA is making it now? (sorry for my ignorance, I don’t really follow game news)

          EA will only want to sell it on their own store Origins for the PC version.
          Don’t expect any new Star Wars games that come out to be on Steam.

    Xbox has EA Access service. If you subscribe to it you get EA games a few days early or at least get to play some of it a few days early. The service is only available on Xbox so that’s why you can play Battlefront first on Xbox One.

    It’s not coming to Xbox first, well sorta. Ps4 doesn’t have EA Access (which allows you to play EA games a few days early). That’s how Xbox players will “play first”

    Please tell me they aren’t picking the crappy Xbox system for early release. Show some respect to real gamers and release on PS4 or PC first. Good lord.

      They will have an official release date for all three as the same date. Xbox users can subscribe to a service called EA Access which allows them to play EA games a few days before the official release date, if they purchase the games digitally.
