Electronic Arts unveiled more details and scenes from Star Wars: Battlefront, the big console and PC game that is coming this fall.

This return of the Battlefront series uses the Frostbite game engine — the same that DICE uses for the Battlefield games — to deliver outstanding 3D graphics. The effort is the best that one of the industry’s biggest companies can do to deliver a high-end gaming experience based on one of the most successful movie franchises of all time. Battlefront takes us back to the time of the original Star Wars trilogy. The game is the last hurrah for the last generation of Star Wars before everything shifts over to the new canon of the next episodes. It will come out Nov. 17 on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and on Origin for the PC.
