As First Order troopers plod toward you across the frozen wastes of Starkiller Base, you’ll sprint from cover to cover, your weapon blazing fire as you evade blaster bolts. Your shots are absorbed by the shield of an opposing heavy trooper. Desperately, you toss a Thermal Detonator just as you're defeated. You both fall, and the stormtroopers advance. But you’re ready to launch a counter-attack. 

As the horde closes in, you expend your reserved Battle Points before respawning, and suddenly you’re behind the controls of a T-70 X-wing starfighter. Or a Jumptrooper. Or wielding powers as Rey....

In a galaxy of conflict, not all heroes choose the path of Rebellion. Loyalty and bravery know many forms, and many proudly pledge to the cause of the Empire. Strip off the iconic stormtrooper mask or fighter pilot helmet and you’ll find a distinctive individual underneath. Among the most elite of their ranks are the members of Inferno Squad, the Emperor's personal special ops team, tasked with completing the missions others can't.

Their leader is Commander Iden Versio, a young and brave Imperial commander raised under the tutelage of her father, Admiral Garrick Versio. Inferno Squad has grown into something of a family over the course of long Galactic Civil War.

Iden's two closest teammates are Gideon Hask and Del Meeko, extraordinary soldiers in their own ri...

Streams of plasma from the fully-automatic blaster fly past Darth Maul as the Sith Lord speeds toward the Heavy. The soldier stands his ground. As Maul sweeps in for the kill, the Specialist watching the action detonates a hidden trap. As the Sith reels from the explosion, the Officer shouts his order and a flood of resolve washes over his squad mates. From behind the Heavy, an Assault rushes forward with a charge attack. The villain falls, overcome by teamwork.

The galaxy is at war, and you're invited to lead the charge in Star Wars™ Battlefront II. Each class brings unique powers to your team. Alone, one is a force to be reckoned with. Acting together, they’re a lethal weapon.

How does each class strengthen a team? Let’s take a look:

You know what happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away above the forest moon of Endor. As a massive attack raged in space around the second Death Star, Rebel pilots flew through the battle station's winding superstructure and destroyed the Empire's most powerful weapon. The Alliance and their Ewok allies celebrated as jubilation spread to the far corners of the galaxy.

But the destruction of the Death Star wasn’t the end of the war... Endor was only the beginning. And it’s during this violent period of uncertainty and turmoil that Inferno Squad set out to fulfill their destiny and avenge their Emperor.

Inferno Squad is an Imperial special-ops team, trained as both deadly starfighter pilots and elite commandos. Deeply committed to the rule of l...

First Order Stormtroopers marching across Starkiller Base. A lone TIE fighter navigating the deep-space graveyard of the shattered Death Star. Darth Maul igniting the twin blades of his signature lightsaber. These moments are just a few of the scenes revealed in the Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II trailer. Since Star Wars Celebration, we've gotten quite a few questions about just what you can expect from the next great Battlefront adventure. Some of the answers will have to wait for EA PLAY in June, but we've found four common questions that we're happy to address right now.

Am I playing as the Empire in the single-player?

Yes. Your Star Wars Battlefront II journey unfolds under the shadow of the Imperial defeat at Endor, and you'll experience subsequent events through the eyes of a loyal Imperial patriot struggling to save a dying cause. Commander Iden Versio and her fellow Inferno Squad troopers are the elite commandos of the Imperial war machine. Your missio...

Dark-armored troopers stand beneath the smoldering remains of the shield generator on the Forest Moon of Endor. Their faces turn skyward to the distant menace of the Death Star looming overhead, a symbol of order in a war-torn galaxy. Like the Empire itself, the colossal battle station stands immutable, impregnable, and eternal. And with a flash of white, it explodes into a midday star.

Welcome to Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II, with a new story mode taking players on an epic journey from the battle of Endor to the rise of the First Order. The prequels, original trilogy, and new era meet in a vast multiplayer adventure coming November 17 to PlayStation 4®, Xbox One, and Origin on PC.
