New Star Wars: Battlefront II Trailer Focuses on the Game’s Single Player Campaign
EA has just released a new trailer for the highly anticipated Star Wars game Battlefront II. The new trailer focuses on the game’s single player storyline which follows commander Iden Versio and her Inferno Squad. It was revealed in the past that the story will span thirty years, beginning from the Galactic Civil War and finishing around the destruction of Starkiller Base. The story will be canon! Check it out…
Star Wars Battlefront II will be released on November 17, 2017.

I wonder if Versio’s story is about redemption? Bad girl turning good sort of
Nope, I think they’re going to introduce a Strong, Empowered, Capable Protagonist and make her a genocidal monster, loyal to the Empire right to the end*.

*I do not think this.
she doesn’t need to be a genocidal monster but it would be great to see characters actually stick with the empire. i’m really tired of seeing people having a change of heart arc.
Yeah, it would be shocking if she DIDN’T turn good.
exactly, which is partly why i like lost stars so much. ciena stuck to her personal convictions to the very end despite how easy it would have been to have her leave the empire just to be with thane.
That’s why those Stars…were LOST
well played, sir.

Spoiler alert!
It’s almost as tiresome as seeing Rebels cosplaying as Empire personnel and sneaking into bases unnoticed.
well at least in TLJ we’ll have resistance members cosplaying as first order personnel this time. totally different. 😉
Well. They’re outnumbered about a quintillion to one. So they don’t engage Imperial forces head on. If they do, even if they squeak out a victory as they did in Rogue One, they lose more than they can afford to.
Even at Endor, their Fleet got punked hard. There is a reason they cosplay to infiltrate. They’re fighting a guerrilla war.
I hope you’re right, but I have a bad feeling about this…
It will be long 30 days…
This looks amazing. I cannot wait to play this game. Having read Inferno Squad, I am most curious to see Iden in this game. Plus, I look forward to seeing how this game bridges ROTJ and TFA.
No gameplay….story looks ok, great trailer, but I want to see what playing the campaign actually looks like.
Just sayin’, start your ‘expectation’ tempering engines now. As excited as I was for this game, as we’re nearing release it’s starting to look like this is not going to be pretty.
Yup. I couldn’t launch the Beta after day-two. Crashed my pc every time.
6 year old rig here, never had a problem.
7 year old rig here. Same. I can run on medium to high settings to boot.
You said you’d never buy BF 2 repeatedly during your BF1 hate phase.
But clever trying to make it look otherwise.

Yes haha they unleashed tons of these after I said that. Looks good!
Is it too much to wish they would do an animated series or feature film that looked this good?
Do you have any idea how much that would cost?
Wish cancelled due to budget constraints.
Follow up: Neill Blomkamp has been experimenting with short films rendered entirely within the Unity video game engine that look spectacular (good enough for the small screen, anyway). Maybe using this technique for a TV series isn’t feasible just yet… but in a few years? I wouldn’t be surprised.
The correct terminology is “pivot” – it became Forces of Destiny instead.
Did anybody play the beta?
Galactic Assault is really good. They’ve totally overhauled the game. Feels more structured, more linear, more of a team game. The scoring engine is very Overwatch. Graphics and sound are much improved. Full of neat little touches like the intro with the Battledroids marching the Clone Troopers down the street whilst more Battledroids arrive in batches (just like in TPM). The citizens of Tweed caught up in the battle, screaming and running for cover. The framed portraits of Queen Amidala and Govenor Sio Bibble hanging on the walls inside the palace.
I’m very much looking forward to its release.
I played it and I am not sure how I feel about the Battlepoints system. In my time with it it seems like everyone was just saving up for the opportunity to play as a hero character. There were no reinforcements or tanks or others in play for most of my matches.
Yeah, I was guilty of that. Earning enough to become Rey or Maul, or settle on being a Wookie Warrior. I do prefer this over the randomness of its predecessor. Also, one of my biggest Battlefront bugs were being wiped out from above, the whole hapless of it as the fighter flies on. I won’t miss that to be honest.
To be honest it was also extremely smart/tactical to have the best saved for the final and hardest push. Taking the Throne Room needed heroes.
Best part of the game in my opinion.
I was guilty of saving up to play a hero and never getting the chance because I wasn’t very good 🙁
Mind you wandering around the map looking at scenery always did get me killed in Battlefront.
Cant wait to torrent this game… im not buying an EA game never again
Yeah, stealing from hard working devs makes you feel good huh?
” EA games suck, so I’m going to steal one.”
haha yeah, doesn’t quite make sense, huh?
“not…never” So you are buying one?
I just hope that the campaign is a real full length campaign. Not just a short campaign and all the meat is left for multiplayer.
If it is longer than 6 hours, I will be shocked. It’s gonna be the length of your average CoD.
I’m told it’s anywhere up to 12 hours long depending on how you play.
Not sure who is telling you that, but the producer of the game said it would 5-7 hours.
Yeah i was told by a DICE employee that it would be 6-8 hours for most people, it could take longer if you explore and search every nook and cranny.
Well, yeah that’s true for every game. But if there is no reason to explore, most people will do it in the 6-8 hour range.
Yep, the last of us, uncharted and tomb raider are prime examples.
Trailer looks great! Can’t wait to watch people letsplay this!
Since there’s no way in hell I’m buying it.
But why?
watching isn’t playing.
They play so you don’t have to… It’s a crazy world we live in today!
I’m in. I’ll buy it just for the single player campaign.
Should add I’m in no rush though, finding the time for gaming this part of the year is slim.
Same… 🙁
That’s a shame. I hope you find the time. My wife and I pre-ordered it. I know she is about as excited for it as I am.
It looks really solid. I hope it’s not just an amazing trailer that turns out to be incredibly lame once you’re in it.
Yes! Pure epic. This is the story I have been wanting to play!! A view from the empire post return of the Jedi. Love it. It’s strange that the emperors death is only mentioned and not Vaders
his body was burned in the pyre at the end of return of the jedi…
We never saw his actual body just his suit of armor and helmet. It could have been removed
If kylo has his helmet then somebody could have the rest
Vader is important to us as viewers, not the Empire. The Emperor was known by all, Vader was not.
Exactly. I got the impression that though he was not a secret, it was not exactly public knowledge that he even existed. The galaxy was so big, I would think his mere existence would be rumor in some areas.
Vader is dead, we saw his spirit haha.
When the Emperor of an Empire dies, it’s a bigger deal than when his servant dies.
True but Vader was still known throughout the entire empire and most of the rebellion. Was seen more than the emperor by his peers. Krennic feared him more than the emperor who was just someone he could get a promotion from
But still not as big a deal as the leader dying.
Remember, at one point, Tarkin was bossing Vader around.
Saw anakins spirit now vaders. I bet Disney lucasfilm will do something about that and try to make vaders sith spirit still alive. Because from obi wans point of view Vader was seduced by the dark side and anakins skywalker was dead making Vader his own entity. I know it sounds weird but I wouldn’t be surprised after all this new canon forcebsck vision stuff.
I bet they won’t!
Not even the dark side can save one from dying.. and then their body being incinerated…..
It never showed his actual human body being burned. Just his armor and helmet. did u ever hear the story of Darth Plaguies the wise…
Your father was seduced by the dark side of the Force. He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker and became Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed. So what I told you was true, from a certain point of view.
Obi-Wan Kenobi to Luke Skywalker
Now, go, my son. Leave me.”
“No. You’re coming with me. I’ll not leave you here. I’ve got to save you!”
“You already have, Luke. You were right. You were right about me. Tell your sister… you were right.
Anakin Skywalker and Luke Skywalker
Such amazing music. Reminds me of the TIE-Fighter soundtrack – https://soundcloud.com/laserschwert/sets/tie
Tie fighter was so good. If any game deserves a reboot it’s that one. You wouldn’t even have to change much now that tie defenders and Thrawn are Canon.
Looks dope, looking forward to playing the campaign.
I sense raw untamed power in this game and beyond that… something truly special.
