While the Force Awakens continues to hog the limelight, there's another big Star Wars-themed release right around the corner. Star Wars: Battlefront, developed by the team behind the mega-selling Battlefield series, is a competitive shooter that lets players relive some of the films' most flamboyant fracas.
Aside from series favourites like the Battle of Hoth, players will be able to take part in the Battle of Jakku, an event which will be referenced in the upcoming film. In short, if you've ever wanted to shoot things in a galaxy far, far away, this is the game for you.
For the most part, players will scurry around maps, pew-pewing at their opponents as either a Rebel or Imperial soldier, but there will be opportunities to take control of iconic characters like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader for short periods. If vehicular cloneslaughter is more your speed, you can also stomp around the battlefield at the helm of an AT-AT, among other iconic vehicles.
Before the game drops on the 17th of November, players can get a closer look at some of the worlds they'll be warring on via a new series of interactive videos. Aside from giving players a feel for the game's various environments, these interactive fly-bys are packed with behind-the-scenes videos, trivia and descriptions of some of the gadgets, gizmos and guns available in the final game.
