Star Wars: Battlefront – some like it Hoth

EA has released a new teaser for DICE’s Star Wars-ified version of Battlefield, featuring the Battle of Hoth from The Empire Strikes Back.

We’re not sure if the trailer below is actual in-game footage or just pre-rendered, but it’s an extension of the original teaser shown back when the game was first announced in 2013.

The first person view seems to be from the perspective of a Rebel soldier and features both a Rebel snowspeeder and an Imperial AT-AT walker. You can also hear the sound of an Imperial probe droid towards the end.

Or to put it another way, this doesn’t tell us anything new that we didn’t already know. Including the fact that the graphics look great and that DICE have a real eye for Star Wars detail.


Star Wars: Battlefront is due out this Christmas on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC and according to the most recent rumours will feature elements from all seven films.



Exactly how much of The Force Awakens will be included though is unclear, as the film’s late December release date almost certainly means the game will be out around a month earlier – which makes the rumours that the game will only feature elements from the opening sequence perfectly believable.

Whatever the case is EA are purposefully not saying anything at the moment, and the release of this trailer is really just to whet your appetite ahead of a more detailed reveal at the Star Wars Celebration event in California, which starts on April 16.
