Of course we're talking Electronic Arts' reveal trailer for STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT.
The announcement was of course the November 19 released date in Australia for the game, which will go live on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and on PC.
The game will allow fans to live out a wide range of heroic moments and intense battle fantasies of their own - from firing blasters, riding speeder bikes and snow speeders, commanding giant AT-ATs and piloting TIE fighters and the Millennium Falcon.
The battles will take place on some of the most iconic locations in the Star Wars universe, such as Endor, Hoth, Tatooine and the previously unexplored planet, Sullust.
Gamers will also be able to play as some of the most recognisable characters of the original trilogy such as Darth Vader and Boba Fett.
There will be two versions of the game available: a deluxe edition bundled for $109.95 and a standard edition for $99.95.
The deluxe edition includes instant access to five in-game items, while the standard edition includes just the game.
