Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection release date, trailers, platforms & more
The legendary Star Wars Battlefront games from the early 00s are returning in the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection. While the franchise was revived a few years ago with new entries, seeing these fan favourites on modern consoles has been a long-requested return.
We have trailers, gameplay details, even some new content, and most importantly a release date for the games that isn't too far away, so let's get into it.
Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection release date
The release date for the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection is March 14, 2024. At the time of writing, this puts the launch just a few weeks away.
With the first game turning 20 later this year, it seems a perfect time to revisit these classics. If you simply cannot wait, you can pre-order the collection on all available platforms to be ready for launch.
Classic Collection trailers
The Announce Trailer was shown during the Nintendo Direct on February 21, revealing the collection for the first time. The trailer shows off classic Battlefront gameplay and runs down many of the new and returning features of the games.
