Wish you could show the Rebel Alliance a thing or two at Hoth with your trusty AT-AT?

Ever wonder what it felt like to be a battle droid taking aim at a pesky clone soldier?

Your dreams could come become a reality sooner than you think. This fall LucasArts plans to release Star Wars Battlefront, an intense open-ended multiplayer action game set in the Star Wars universe for the PlayStation2, Microsoft Xbox and the PC.

With Star Wars Battlefront gamers can relive all of the epic battles from the classic and prequel eras of the Star Wars universe set in over 15 environments across 10 diverse planets including Hoth, Geonosis, Yavin, Tatooine and Naboo. Players can choose over 20 different 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 over 15 diverse ground and air vehicles including the AT-ST, X-wing and speeder bike.

Star Wars Battlefront will be optimized for PS2 online, Xbox Live and PC online. Console gamers can battle against 16 players over the Internet or 32 players connected via LAN, while PC gamers can battle against 32 players over the Internet or 64 via a LAN. The game also supports voice chat through compatible headsets for the PS2 and Xbox console systems as well as PC.

In addition to the single-player and various multiplayer modes offered in Star Wars Battlefront, a unique "Conquest" mode adds an innovative and strategic gameplay element to the action. After each battle is completed and the planet is conquered, the winning team will be rewarded with a special "bonus" ability that can be deployed in future battles in an attempt to take over the Star Wars galaxy planet-by-planet.

Star Wars Battlefront is published by LucasArts and developed by Pandemic Studios. For more information, please visit the official product site.
