Force Awakens’ Jakku shows up in Star Wars Battlefront

Looks pretty cool

In the second teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, there was a striking shot of Rey speeding past a long-abandoned Star Destroyer. The scene takes place on a desert planet, Jakku, and the massive ship crash landed almost three decades earlier. How did it happen?

We’ll get to see one interpretation of the event in Star Wars Battlefront.

The Battle of Jakku will be in the game, just not in time for launch. It’s coming a little later: December 1 for folks who pre-order Battlefront, and a week after that for everyone else.

It is annoying to see a split like this in a multiplayer game, but at least it’s only for a short while, and at least it isn’t paid DLC.
