Looking ahead to fall of 2004, video-game players on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox systems will be thrust into the action of epic assaults from the Star Wars saga in Star Wars: Battlefront, an intense, open-ended multi-player action game.

Players will be able to select from one of more than 20 soldier types from four factions: Rebel Alliance, Imperial Army, Clone Army and Battle Droids. Each soldier will have specialized abilities and the freedom to use ground-based turrets found on the battlefront as well as more than 15 ground and air vehicles – including the AT-ST, X-wing and Speeder Bike.

Star Wars: Battlefront is being published by LucasArts and developed by Pandemic Studios.
