Electronic Arts has confirmed that Star Wars Battlefront 2 is set to appear during the publisher’s E3 2017 event, EA Play, and as such fans of the Battlefront series of games have been left wondering exactly what EA has planned. Thanks to a few supposed leaks, however, gamers may be able to go into the event with a little more knowledge than the publisher would have hoped for.

The leaks come courtesy of Reddit user Some Info, who took to the site at first to divulge some information about the EA Play plans in particular. The user has stated that there will be two gameplay modes available for trial, one a single player demo that revolves around Star Wars Battlefront 2 protagonist Iden Versio and the other a multiplayer mode that takes place on the planet of Naboo. What’s more, Some Info stated that hero characters will be available, as well as four playable classes per team.

However, it wasn’t here that the potential leaks ended. Alongside this description of the E3 2017 plans, the Reddit user also casually dropped a screenshot of what appears to be the loadout screen for multiplayer, showing off a Heavy Trooper model. The screenshot itself, which is allegedly from an earlier work-in-progress build, can be seen below.


Alongside this, an extremely short gameplay video was also posted, which appears to reveal a melee attack taking place on a Rebel ship. Much like the image above, it’s worth reiterating that neither is verified, and nor is the information regarding E3 2017. Given that there are a few discrepancies, such as the Blaster model noted in the HUD not matching up to the weapon being used by the Heavy Trooper, it’s certainly worth taking with a rather large grain of salt for now.

So far, EA and DICE have been steadily releasing new information about Star Wars Battlefront 2, such as the recent video detailing the story of single player protagonist Iden Versio. With E3 2017 now extremely close, it may well be that Battlefront 2 sees some further information revealed, that perhaps might corroborate with the leaks seen today.
