Star Wars Battlefront's Dogfighting Mode Teased, Official Reveal Coming This Week

Star Wars Battlefront fans won't have to wait long for more information about the game's multiplayer. Today, EA released a short teaser of Battlefront's Fighter Squadron mode, and announced that it is getting an official reveal later this week.

The teaser video is short, but it shows a couple of tantalizing glimpses of Tie Fighter and X-Wing dogfighting. The few seconds of gameplay show off a confrontation between fighter squadrons, and in the background a huge battle between Empire and Rebel forces takes place.

EA will be releasing more footage of Fighter Squadron this week, possibly during its Gamescom conference on Wednesday at 12:30 AM PDT/8:30 AM in Germany.

Fighter Squadron is one of several multiplayer modes that Battlefront will feature. The others include Walker Assault, Supremacy, Blast, Drop Zone, and Cargo. There will also be a co-op mode called Survival. Recently, EA discussed Blast, which is a 10 vs. 10 deathmatch mode.

Star Wars Battlefront launches on November 17 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Recently, Battlefront developer DICE discussed the difficulties of taking over the Battlefront franchise. You can also read our interview with the studio's general manager, Patrick Bach, here.
