The teaser for Star Wars Battlefront II leaked online a few days before its Celebration panel, but the event did bring with it the full trailer, and a very important details about the upcoming game.

The new single-player story campaign - something fans maligned the lack of in the first game - starts at the end of the Battle of Endor. You'll play as Iden Versio, leader of a special forces band of Stormtroopers known as Inferno Squad (there will, of course, be a tie-in novel that sheds more light on them).

It'll run from Return of the Jedi up to The Force Awakens, and you'll play as Iden in battle against the New Republic and Resistance, meeting some familiar faces along the way. You'll even get the chance to play as characters such as Luke Skywalker and Kylo Ren in the story campaign, but the focus is very much Iden.

As well as that, it was also confirmed the game would feature online multiplayer locations from every on-screen era of Star Wars, and teased the possibility of a battle between Yoda and Darth Maul, with the likes of Rey and Kylo Ren in the mix as well.
