One of the more eagerly anticipated titles coming out near the holidays is that of EA and Dice’s Star Wars: Battlefront. This morning, EA confirmed that there will be a beta test event in early October and fans can expect to have access to a major battle on Hoth and will indeed have control of two iconic characters in Luke Skywalker and the Dark Lord himself, Darth Vader.

If you’ve been holding your breath waiting for confirmation that the highly anticipated Star Wars game Star Wars: Battlefront would include a single-player campaign in addition to the multiplayer mode we’ve already seen in action, you can exhale now. Not because a single-player campaign has been confirmed, but because if you do not exhale and continue to hold your breath waiting, you will die.

But why would DICE, the makers of the Battlefield games, not include a campaign for you to enjoy when you don’t feel like dealing with other players, even if it were the shorter six to eight-hour or so campaigns they usually offer? Because this is also published by Electronic Arts, and they have “data” that says you don’t play those silly single-player campaigns.

EA COO Peter Moore did an interview recently talking about many things, including the multiplayer-only Battlefront. See what he had to say below.

A new gameplay demo for Star Wars: Battlefront was shared during Gamescom 2015, this time showing off some aerial combat action.

We already saw a little bit of flying gameplay in the impressive icy battle on Hoth gameplay demo shared with us at E3 2015, but this new video focuses solely on the aerial combat instead of jumping around from the flying to first-person and third-person character perspectives to AT-AT control and so on.

You can read much more about the game and watch the new gameplay trailer below.

E3 2015 brings with it the first gameplay demo for the upcoming Star Wars: Battlefront. The preview is a multiplayer demo, showing what a massive 40-player battle on the ice planet Hoth looks like. The demo jumps from first-person to third-person, from AT-AT to snowspeeder and TIE Fighter, and so on before ending with a couple of cameo appearances.

You can check out how it will look to go into icy cold battle in the Star Wars: Battlefront gameplay preview below. If you missed the debut trailer for the game that was released a couple of months back, be sure to check that out as well!

We saw a very brief teaser trailer to announce the existence the next Star Wars: Battlefront game released almost two years ago now at E3 2013, followed by a behind the scenes peek at E3 2014. Apart from that things related to the game have been kept locked safely away for the most part.

Last month it was revealed that the game would not be making its debut at E3 2015, but instead it would be making its debut during the Star Wars Celebration convention being held at the Anaheim Convention Center from April 16th to the 19th. And if you’ll take a quick peek at the nearest calendar to you, you will surely see that that time is right now.

That’s right—the debut trailer for Star Wars: Battlefront has been released online, and you can read more about the game and check out the trailer below along with more images to go with the one above.
