This will reportedly be coming out on multiple systems although it's unclear if it's current gen or next gen. More will be revealed on Monday.


It seems from the name and art it will probably focus on starfighter combat. While there was some of that in the Battlefronts it was far from the main focus. There's of course been many SW games based mostly on starfighter combat-The old X-wing/TIE fighter PC games (The latter of which seems to have heavily inspired parts of Rebel's Thrawn arc) the somewhat more limited freedom-wise but still fun "Rogue Squadron" series (although eventually those diversified to some ground-based missions as well) and it's prequel counterpart, the starfighter games.

The art seems to show that it's an OT-era story with it's pilots and starfighters (although they didn't change too much for the sequel trilogy, it's still distinctly OT), although it's possible I suppose that like EA's Battlefront II the story could carry over into the sequel era. You can also glimpse the Rogue One fighters (U-wing and TIE reaper) as well. There also seems to some other craft, kind of smooth-looking like a Mon Calamari ship but kind of too small to be a cruiser. Not sure if it's something already or a new kind of ship.
