E3 2015 opened with a bang. 2 great conferences that kept us gaming fans on the edge of our seats. Starting at just 1:00 PM PDT was the EA conference. This year, we the Star Wars fans, will finally be able to embark on an epic looking journey in Star Wars Old Republic in the newest DLC. Knights of The Fallen Empire.

Knights of the Fallen Empire is free for all subscribers

Next we got to see a mobile game coming out later this year, Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes. Not much was shown, besides the fact you can collect and play with all your favorite characters from the Star Wars Trilogies.

Finally, we get to revisit one of our childhood games, Star Wars Battlefront.

Everything previously known about Battlefront-

• Nothing like battlefield, in my opinion, except the fact that it’s a first person shooter.
• Certain vehicles have boost, while others have a charge and the rest with health bars.
• Stunning visuals.
• Battle of Hoth confirmed.

Star Wars Battlefront hits game retailers November 17, 2015 on PC, PS4, and XBOX ONE in the US and on November 19, 2015 for Europe.
