Star Wars Battlefront

Star Wars: Battlefront is an upcoming video game from DICE, a game developer owned by Electronic Arts. The game is not the third title in the Star Wars: Battlefront series, but one that is DICE's own take on the format.

Plot summary
''Star Wars™ Battlefront™ is the ultimate Star Wars battle experience, brought to life by the creators of Battlefield. Fight in epic Star Wars battles on iconic planets and rise through the ranks playing as the heroic Rebellion or the evil Galactic Empire.''

Gameplay
According to EA, the game will be a first-person shooter, much like DICE's Battlefield franchise. The ability to switch to a third-person camera is present in certain situations however.

Development
EA first unveiled their plans for the game at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) on June 10, 2013. In the hopes of creating a realistic, immersive experience for players, the DICE team visited the Lucasfilm Archives as well as filming locations for the films. On December 4, 2013, EA announced that projects from DICE, including Star Wars: Battlefront, would be delayed until performance issues in their video game Battlefield 4 were fixed. A subsequent announcement from EA clarified that the patch work would not affect upcoming release dates.

In October 2014, EA confirmed that it would release the game during the 2015 holiday season, near the theatrical release of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. On March 19, 2015, EA announced that the game would make its debut at Celebration Anaheim in April 2015. In announcing the debut, EA stated that they "could not think of a better or more appropriate place to debut the game officially for the first time than the premier event that celebrates the Star Wars universe and the legions of fans who have fallen in love with it."
