It remains to be seen whether EA will have a Watch Dogs on their hands, considering the almost universal meh that followed the previous game's release. Battlefront I was a major disappointment for most players, in spite of stellar beta participation figures - counting around 9,5 million beta players.
Actual gameplay footage from the game should be shown on EA's mini-E3 that is going to be streamed on the event's .
If you look closely at the press-release, it's funny how the PC version is being announced as releasing on Origin, rather than PC.
"Star Wars Battlefront II officially lands on November 17 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Origin for PC", is stated in the announcement.
You have to love that PR-speak.
