“Star Wars Battlefront II” is officially announced for 2017

EA + DICE are starting a festive eve tradition inline with the vamped efforts of Disney when it comes to the Star Wars franchise it seems.

Just announced by EA chief financial officer Blake Jorgensen, Star Wars Battlefront II will be released next Autumn, near around the time cinema goers can look forward to Star Wars: Episode VIII.

Jorgensen spoke on the news:

We’re working very hard on making sure that it’s an extremely deep and engaging offering.

Indeed. And we are surely going to get tiefighter-ins with the coming Star Wars feature, maybe even Rogue One. Time is the teller of all tales. Can’t forget Han Solo too.
