We’ll also be playing with the relevant technologies and characters, so you’ll almost certainly be able to try out the new Stormtrooper F-11D blaster rifles and (hopefully) the Z6 riot control baton.
This means that not only will we be seeing classic trilogy planets such as Hoth, Tatooine, and Yavin IV, but also the likes of Kamino, Geonosis, Hosnian Prime, Scarif, and Jedha. Star Wars Battlefront II will be set across all three eras of Star Wars, from the Republic days of the prequel movies, right up to to the age of the First Order and the Resistance. If you would like to play early but do not fancy subscribing to EA’s service, a pre-order of the Elite Trooper Deluxe Edition will allow you access from November 14. If you’ve got an Origin Access subscription, you’ll be able to play a week early, which means the very earliest you will be able to play Star Wars Battlefront II is November 9. There’s a similar move happening this year – a pre-order will nab you some Kylo Ren and Rey skins from The Last Jedi, plus some ability modifiers.
EA used a similar release schedule for the first Battlefront, and marked the release of The Force Awakens with some movie tie-in DLC. That puts it almost a whole month in advance of Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. Not long left to wait, the Star Wars Battlefront II release date is November 17.
