That's according to Microsoft game marketing lead Aaron Greenberg, who tweeted confirmation of the news on Twitter.At this stage we don't know any further details about how far in advance Xbox owners will be able to play the title, or if there'll be a time limit on how many hours can be racked up, as was the case with Battlefield Hardline We've reached out to EA for more information and will update the story as soon as we hear back.We did see bits and pieces of the new Star Wars Battlefront at E3 last year, including a short making-of. However, with Star Wars Battlefront aiming for launch later this year , fans are hoping to finally see the game in action. A reveal trailer is scheduled to appear on April 17 and, as soon as it does, you know we'll be dissecting it right here on IGN.
