Watch the first Star Wars Battlefront trailer

The first trailer for Star Wars Battlefront has been released. Why, there it is, right up there above this text, waiting to be watched!

Boy, it's gorgeous, isn't it? So gorgeous and perfectly scripted and composed that it gives us very little idea of what it feels like to play Battlefront. I at least appreciate the tone: big, playful, and loud.

Wes is at the Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim this week, and wrote all about the reveal this morning. We also learned that space battles won't be a focus and that the largest battles will involve 40 players.

Tyler grew up in Silicon Valley during the '80s and '90s, playing games like Zork and Arkanoid on early PCs. He was later captivated by Myst, SimCity, Civilization, Command & Conquer, all the shooters they call "boomer shooters" now, and PS1 classic Bushido Blade (that's right: he had Bleem!). Tyler joined PC Gamer in 2011, and today he's focused on the site's news coverage. His hobbies include amateur boxing and adding to his 1,200-plus hours in Rocket League.
