Star Wars Battlefront Will Not Suffer a Delay According to EA

Star Wars Battlefront will not suffer any type of delay and EA is confident that the title will not be pushed to 2016. The announcement was made during the company’s most recent financial conference call. EA,s CEO Andrew Wilson stated that Star Wars Battlefront is fully playable right now, and explains that he feels that Battlefront will be ready for its November 17 2015 release date.

It was emphasised that the team at DICE has learned from its mistakes from the Battlefield 4 launch, and Wilson feels that Battlefront will not suffer the same. The immense anticipation of Star Wars fans for Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens in December, makes November the perfect time for the release of Star Wars Battlefront.

EA expects Star Wars Battlefront to sell around 9-10 million copies.

Star Wars Battlefront will launch with 12 multiplayer maps, each of them using different areas of the included planets

“The overall look and feel for Sullust is very much Imperial and under construction, playing in locations within the planet such as a lava theme, sulfur theme, Death Star-inspired theme, and lastly a mine theme,”

 

Of the 12 multiplayer maps in Star Wars Battlefront (there are even more locations when you include the Star Wars Battlefront Missions), some feel immediately familiar — such as the lush forests of Endor or the tundra of Hoth that allow you to re-live your favorite moments from the films. Some of the maps support our epic modes like Walker Assault, while others are tailored to more intimate, close quarters combat. Our goal is to bring a variety of battle fantasies to life, with map design catering to the modes that will play out on those maps. Above all, we want you to create new memories of your own in new places you’ve never seen before.

Preorders for Star Wars Battlefront are available for both the Standard and Deluxe versions. As producer Jesper Nielsen stated, gameplay will come in due time, so it would be safe to assume that the development diaries will lead up to that.

Star Wars Battlefront will be released on November 17 2015 for the PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One. We will bring you any new information as soon as it becomes available.
