News Star Wars Meets Dynasty Warriors? Koei Tecmo Producer Wants to Make It
The Omega Force is strong with this one
Japanese developer Omega Force seems to have far too many fingers in far too many pies these days, and that's mostly thanks to its Warriors - or musou - games. Most of you will probably have heard of the Dynasty Warriors series or the Samurai Warriors series, but the template from these titles - which sees you...

Sky walker
EA Games could have restricted the Star Wars Battlefront beta to practicing Jedis only, and it would have resulted in some hurried census updates. But the publisher has resisted temptation, revealing that the online stress test will eventually be available to everyone. This means that you'll be able to hop online for free and put the...
Weirdness Star Wars Battlefront Is Even Being Sold with a Han-Solo Fridge
This is going to get silly, isn't it?
Just in case you didn't get the memo, Star Wars is about to blow up all over again in a big way.

Darth knight
We all knew that it was coming, but here it is: the PlayStation 4's limited edition Star Wars bundle. Due out in both Europe and North America this November – with pre-orders set to open very soon – the only twist with this tempting package is that there are actually two of them. That's right, Sony's doubling down on force fever...

News EA Doesn't Think You'd Play a Star Wars Battlefront Single Player Campaign
Data suggests few people play solo, apparently
It doesn't matter if the final product is as bad as Jar Jar Binks, the forthcoming Star Wars Battlefront is going to sell enough copies to fund the construction of a real Millennium Falcon. One could argue, though, that for as fun as the game looks, publisher EA is half arsing it – where is the epic...
News Here Come the Star Wars PS4 Hardware Bundles
May the force be with you
Sony may not have a tentpole exclusive to hang its figurative hat on this holiday, but it has Star Wars instead. Even if it hasn't been announced yet, we all know that there's going to be a Star Wars: Battlefront bundle this Christmas, but while it bides its time before revealing that, it has prepared a special package for...
Gamescom 2015 Proof Star Wars Battlefront Will Be the Biggest Game of the Year
The force is with EA
There's a lot of chatter about exclusives at the moment, but the Gamescom 2015 awards provide a small reminder of how little these matter in the grand scheme of things. Star Wars Battlefront will leave this year's German convention with no less than five awards, including Best of Show, Best PS4 Game, Best Online Multiplayer...
Gamescom 2015 Star Wars: Battlefront Brings the Dogfight of Your Dreams to PS4
Flyin' high
As teased earlier in the week, EA has announced Star Wars: Battlefront's flashy Fighter Squadron mode – a dogfighting option which will see you piloting iconic aircrafts such as X-Wings, TIE-Fighters, and, amazingly, the Millennium Falcon online. It's worth stressing that these aren't space battles – they'll take place above the...
Gamescom 2015 Star Wars: Battlefront Fighter Squadron Footage Flies In
TIE die
How can you tell that there's a major video games convention right around the corner? Because publishers are putting out agonisingly short teaser trailers for all of their upcoming wares, of course. We already knew that a new mode would be revealed for Star Wars: Battlefront this week, but now we have a name: Fighter Squadron. As expected,...
News Star Wars: Battlefront Prepping New Mode for Take Off
High flyer
The last time that EA attempted to hype up a Star Wars: Battlefront announcement, it turned out to be Team Deathmatch, so we're not getting our hopes up for this new reveal just yet. However, an image on the franchise's official Facebook page showing an X-Wing does hold a little more promise we suppose. It's accompanied by the words:
News Star Wars: Battlefront's Blast Mode Is Not as Exciting as It Sounds
Storm blooper
Star Wars: Battlefront is going to ride the coattails of force fever all the way to the bank this Christmas, but DICE is being a little too presumptuous if it expects people to get excited over Blast mode. The playlist was teased earlier in the week and has been announced as part of an EA blog post today – but it's not exactly going...
News This R2-D2 PS4 Laptop Is Bleeping Badass
C3PO would be impressed
Sony is astutely positioning the PlayStation 4 as the platform for Star Wars this year, but while we're sure that it's going to have a handful of custom hardware bundles to celebrate the release of Battlefront, we doubt that any of them will be this darn awesome. Ed Zarick has been making custom console laptops for a while,...

News DICE Explains Why Star Wars: Battlefront Had To Skip PlayStation 3
If only you knew the power of the next-gen
EA and DICE's interpretation of Star Wars: Battlefront is coming to next-gen consoles this November, totally skipping the likes of the PS3 and Xbox 360. This might prove a bitter pill to swallow for those of you that haven't yet upgraded to the PlayStation 4, but according to Star Wars: Battlefront's...

Shocking news: DICE will show the first official gameplay footage from Star Wars: Battlefront at E3 2015 next month.

News Star Wars: Battlefront Force Chokes Single Player Campaign
Not good for those playing (Han) Solo
We thought that it sounded too good to be true: Star Wars: Battlefront will not have a traditional single player campaign. The hotly anticipated sci-fi shooter will forgo a classic solo outing, instead opting for a series of short missions which can be played alone or with friends in online and local co-op. "I...

Wookie here
Can you hear that? It's the sound of AT-AT Walkers approaching, as Star Wars fever hits hyperdrive.

News The Force Will Block Star Wars: Battlefront from Launching on Sony's Previous Box
Wookie here
We pondered recently whether the PlayStation 3 was on its last legs, and while it's not over until Kaz Hirai says so, we're starting to see third-party publishers skip the faithful format. Hot on the heels of Dragon Quest Heroes and Dying Light, the hotly anticipated Star Wars: Battlefront is the latest game to gloss over a last-gen...
Rumour Star Wars: Battlefront Will Span the Series' Entire Saga on PS4
Out of this world
The more that we think about it, the more that we reckon Star Wars: Battlefront is going to be one of the biggest games of the year. Think about it: the title's due out a month before the new movie, and Disney will likely have ratcheted up the hype to intergalactic levels by that point. Moreover, could EA have possibly picked a...

Battlefield developer DICE’s long-awaited Star Wars: Battlefront reboot will steer its X-Wing onto the PlayStation 4 next holiday, publisher EA Games has announced.
