Fresh from the Star Wars Celebration live event in California, comes a fresh new trailer and new details for EA and DICE’s much anticipated new Star Wars Battlefront game.

Yeah, we know it’s headed to the PS4, Xbox One and PC on November 17th, and it’ll feature multiplayer battles with up to 40 players across familiar Star Wars settings, but we’ve been dying to see how it’s shaping up. As expected, gamers will be able to take control of an assortment of vehicles, including X-wings, TIE fighters, speeder bikes, AT-ATs, AT-STs, jetpacks and more.

Those who pre-order the game will be able to get their hands on the first piece of free DLC, Battle of Jakku, early too.
