EA Dice has finally announced the official release date of "Star Wars Battlefront 3" at E3 2015.
The highly anticipated game is slated for Nov. 17, 2015 release date, a month prior to Disney and Lucas Film's "Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Awakens."
In addition to the announcement of the release date of the highly anticipated game, EA Dice also revealed the new and improved multiplayer gameplay for "Star Wars Battlefront 3."
And while most were impressed with the footage, Hayden Dingman of PC World is disappointed.
It's not the Battlefront III I waited and waited (and waited) for though," he said of the "Star Wars Battlefront 3" gameplay.
"It's just not. I don't think it's worth making excuses, or trying to pretend otherwise. Rather, I think it's time to accept that this Battlefront is going to be a wholly different beast from theBattlefront I know and love, and then grow to love it (or at least tolerate it)-like when your favorite band puts out an album and you listen to it a dozen, two-dozen times just hoping there's some connection.
However, EA Dice Label boss Patrick Söderlund thinks that the upcoming game is actually the best they've made in the franchise, Eurogamer reported.
"This is DICE's interpretation of what Battlefront should be...That's the best description you can have," he explained.
"There are absolutely things in the previous Battlefront games that you'll recognize and remember, but DICE wants to put its own flavor on it. That's the only way we can do it. Hence it's called 'Star Wars: Battlefront,' without a 3 at the end. We want to say it's something new...But again, it's going to be very Star Wars and very cool."
In fact, EA DICE game designer Niklas Fergraeus claimed that "Star Wars Battlefront 3" multiplayer option offers "great variety" to choose from.
"We have actually made the decision to specifically tailor certain maps to certain game modes, and what we get from that is not only incredibly varied scales, but also gameplay that will allow players to live out some of their most memorable 'Star Wars' battle fantasies," he said in an interview with IGN.
"However, with the talent we have here at DICE, the Frostbite technology at our fingertips, and the fantastic working relationship we have with Lucas, I believe we will deliver a Star Wars experience that excites fans around the world and gives them the chance to play out battles in some of the most iconic locales in the series history."
"Star Wars Battlefront 3" release date is on Nov. 17, 2015.
In Star WarsTM BattlefrontTM you can battle in epic 40 multiplayer battles reminiscent of The Battle of Hoth.
As the Empire, you must accompany AT-AT walkers as they march towards the Rebel base to destroy it. And as a Rebel, you must do everything you can to stop them.
Star Wars Battlefront will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC
Release Date: November 17, 2015
