OUT THIS MONTH NOVEMBER GAMES

STAR WARS: BATTLEFRONT II GENRE: SHOOTER PLATFORM: PS4 | XBO RELEASE: 14/11/17 MULTIPLAYER: YES What year is it? Star Wars: Battlefront II is releasing again? DICE are bringing more shooter goodness to the current generation of consoles, and it just so happens to revolve around a galaxy far, far away. Improving on the 2015 game, there will now be a dedicated single-player campaign from the perspective of the Imperial forces, taking place directly after the second Death Star is destroyed at the end of Return of the Jedi . Multiplayer also now utilises class-based gameplay, and is more rewarding than ever. Use this to fill the void before The Last Jedi releases in cinemas next month.

Star Wars actor John Boyega rallied fans for a single-player campaign in the Battlefront sequel!
