'Star Wars Battlefront 2' release date, gameplay news: Sequel comes with seven different modes

"Star Wars Battlefront II" is coming to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on Nov. 17, and the sequel has several new game modes and a brand-new campaign ready for excited fans of the video game franchise.

The game modes featured in the upcoming "Star Wars Battlefront II" game are Strike, Blast, Starfighter Assault, Heroes vs. Villains, Arcade, Galactic Assault and the pre-order bonus. Aside from those modes, the game comes with single-player and multiplayer campaigns.

Strike mode will pit two teams of eight players against each other. Players must work together with their teammates to complete objective-based missions.

Blast mode throws players into fast-paced, do or die combat scenarios. There they will have to overcome their opponents with wit and skill.

Meanwhile, Starfighter Assault shakes things up by having players take control of different spacecraft ranging from bombers to fighters. The players are grouped into two different teams and must complete multi-staged and objective-based space battles.

Heroes vs. Villains also does something different. It puts players in the shoes of iconic "Star Wars" heroes and villains. Players will get to play their favorite characters as they duel it out with others in action-packed four-versus-four team battles.

Arcade is a single-player or local multiplayer (split-screen) mode where players duke it out with artificial intelligence (AI) enemies. Arcade works wonders for players who want to practice and hone their skills.

Galactic Assault has players work together on a larger scale. They are divided into two teams of 20 and objectives range from duking it out with other players in iconic locations to piloting different vehicles and more.

Alongside the various game modes, the pre-order bonus will give players early access to the multiplayer beta. They will also receive exclusive "The Last Jedi" outfits for Kylo Ren and Rey and instant access to Yoda's epic Lightsaber Mastery, among others.
