Star Wars Battlefront is getting people mighty excited. I mean, of course it is – it’s a Star Wars game that looks absolutely epic. What more do you want? Oh, you want to know when it’s coming? Apparently in November if data miners are to be believed.
First of all, here’s a small teaser to show you why you should be so excited for the game:
Over on the Battlefront celebration page, a clever NeoGAFfer found a hidden date in the source code. It reads:
The latest news and updates for Star Wars Battlefront. Available November 17, 2015 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
November 17th fits in with predictions that it would arrive in time for the holidays, plus it would mean that the game won’t just be seen as a cheap movie tie in. It’s looking gorgeous in the teaser and screenshot, so I think we can start getting excited. Also, prepare for disappointment old generation console users – doesn’t look like this game will be available for you.
For those among you who worry that it will just be a new Battlefield, at least you can rest at ease that there will be no Battlelog for Star Wars Battlefront. So it won’t be using the silly social stuff from Battlefield… perhaps it will have its own version of it, though? All games need something social these days it seems.
Will Battlefront be your November (and December, and January) game, or are you not going to believe the date until it’s official. And holds steady without delays.

It’s going to be released in time for the holidays and just before the movie comes out? For the love of god don’t preorder.

It’s EA. That means don’t pre-order and wait till they fix and release the complete game.

Pre-ordered. 😛
The Batpanda knows a sure thing when he sees one.

There’s only one sure thing you know about a movie tie-in game. 😉

Good Job! After last nights trailer I will most likely buy anything Star Wars even if it is Kim Cardashians Star Wars Experience mobile app.

Even with EA being in control of this game, I don’t know how much longer I can resist the dark side and click pre order.

Over here on the Dark Side we only drink Red Bull. The dangers that come with using the force the way we do shares much with the dangers of consuming this killer beverage. It seems a fitting union.

A little weirded out now, to be honest. But I’ll let it slide. Just this once. Because pre-order bonds of friendship are not just something to be taken lightly.

Star Wars is the only series for which I have a separate category on Steam.
But I’m with you on pre-ordering. Not this one. Besides, I’ll probably still be busy with The Witcher 3.

JJ. I thought you were better than this. I thought you were more… on the inside…

I’ll be honest, it’s tough not to pre-order Star Wars games.
Disappointing Batpanda now weighs heavily on me. :/
If it wasn’t EA it would’ve been an instant pre-order.

Has there been gameplay trailers or videos out yet? And is this that first person Star Wars that they showed off long ago, that was cancelled? Cause that game looked fuckin good. IDK where this Battlefront stands.

They’re sharing gameplay footage for the first time today 🙂

I was a fan of Dice but EA has really fucked over Dice over the years. I hope Dice can pull this one off but with EA cracking the Battlefield whip, I have little faith.
Let’s wait for gameplay and see. Well let’s wait like a month after release and see.

Yeah, smart move. They NEVER spend all your money. Good luck finding it again, though.

Hopefully they figure out how to make a good game too.

They know how, or they used to know, or maybe they just don’t care.

Ohhhh I can just see how Global Illumination is going to make this game look epic with laser light bouncing off from objects as it zooms past. Such a shame I don’t have any of those fancy GTX 900 cards.
