Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron

Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron is an upcoming video game in the Battlefront series for Nintendo DS and PSP. It was officially announced on May 26, 2009 and will be released sometime in the fall of 2009. According to Amazon.Com, the release is set for November 3, 2009.

Gameplay
The game introduces multi layered maps, allowing transition from ground to space, and allowing the player's actions in both layers affect the whole battlefront. While the PSP version features character customization, the DS has preset classes. The customization feature is a lot deeper than the previous game, Renegade Squadron.

The game is expected to have a very deep and expansive story mode, starring X2 and his evil twin brother X1.

In an announcement on starwars.com, which announced the story of the game, the platforms, and several other aspects of the game, it was also mentioned that the game will feature events from the original Star Wars Saga and beyond. This includes the game's storyline, but may also include events from other parts of Star Wars history.

There is expected to be three different CTF modes, a Heroes vs. Villains mode, and a Galactic Conquest mode, which now allows players to connect and play with another PSP or DS.
