The games publisher has dropped a new blog in which they announced plans to air a "never-before-seen trailer" of the gameplay at Gamescom, and pointed out supporters will notice an "all new class-based system" as well as "superior" flight controls.

In a post on their official website, EA said: "Star Wars Battlefront II is roaring into Gamescom with a never-before-seen trailer and a live gameplay debut of Starfighter Assault mode, including the all-new multiplayer space combat.

"Teams will face off in a swirling dogfight in the Fondor: Imperial Shipyard map, weaving around an Imperial Star Destroyer complete with speedy fighters, thundering bombers, distinct hero ships, and more. Will the brave pilots of the Rebel Alliance triumph against the Imperial Navy, or will the intrepid aces of the Galactic Empire foil the insurgents' plans?

"The livestream will be your first glimpse at the vastly improved starfighter combat, with superior controls, deeper customization, and role-based team play featuring an all new class-based system. (sic)"

EA also revealed fans will be able to watch the action unfold live.

They wrote: "You'll be able to watch the gameplay reveal live on August 21 at 05:30 PM BST, which will pit two teams of your favourite Star Wars Game Changers against one another in a multi-stage original trilogy-era space battle. (sic)"

Gamescom 2017 takes place from August 22-26 in Cologne, Germany.
