Star Wars Battlefront 2 Trailer: 12 Details, Secrets & Speculations You Need To Know

11. You Can Ride Tauntauns

Blink and you'll miss it, but at one point we do see a Rebel mount a Tauntaun and violently charge head-first into an Stormtrooper, confirming their inclusion.

Two big takeaways:

Firstly, this confirms Hoth is once again playable, as looking to the background mountains are a dead ringer for Hoth's natural flora, and two, actually being able to 'weaponise' Tauntauns is a first, being that even in Pandemic's original Battlefront games from the early 2000s, they were used as a method of transportation, rather than a way to attack enemy players.

Lastly, this depiction of Hoth is incredibly sunny, hinting at the potential of taking iconic aesthetics of planets we know and love, before changing them considerably. After all, there'll be a Battlefront 3, 4 and so on, so DICE need to think of ways to keep things fresh.
