EA announces that Star Wars:Battlefront II will hit holiday 2017 and have a single player mode

During their investor call this evening Electronic Arts announced that they will be releasing Star Wars Battlefront 2 this holiday season.  This isn't a surprise.

What was a bit of a surprise was that the game will feature a single player campaign and will span multiple eras of the franchise including The Force Awakens and Rogue One.  One would expect that the game will also include some content from Star Wars: The Last Jedi which will be out this December. If it does then I would imagine that this will be free DLC that will release with the movie to avoid spoiling the movie.

Hopefully we'll get some gameplay footage and info on the campaign at E3 this year.
