Star Wars Battlefront II is a 2017 action shooter video game developed by DICE and published by Electronic Arts. It is based on the Star Wars franchise, and is the fourth main installment of the Star Wars: Battlefront series and a sequel to the 2015 reboot of the series. The game features both single-player and multiplayer modes and includes more content than its predecessor. The single-player campaign is set between the films Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, and follows an original character, Iden Versio, the commander of an Imperial special ops strike force dubbed Inferno Squad. Most of the story takes place in the franchise's fictional galaxy during the final year of the Galactic Civil War, before the Empire's definitive defeat at the Battle of Jakku. Development of the title began by May 2016. The then-recently established studio Motive Studios was responsible for the single player campaign, and Criterion Games was responsible for the starfighter gameplay and mechanics. It was soon announced that the title would feature content from the sequel and prequel trilogies of films.
