Guy Longworth, Senior Vice President of PlayStation Brand Marketing at SCEA, has taken to the PlayStation Blog today to publish the new and official PlayStation Holiday 2015 commercial: A Galaxy Far, Far Away.
As you can expect by the title, the new holiday advert pushes the limited edition PS4 Star Wars Battlefront bundle that has been released to coincide with the launch of Star Wars Battlefront and the seventh movie in the series, The Force Awakens.
The Excitement Surrounding Star Wars Battlefront
Star Wars Battlefront will be launching on November 17th. This highly anticipated game has generated a significant amount of excitement among fans of both the Star Wars franchise and the gaming community. The game promises to deliver an immersive experience, allowing players to engage in epic battles set in the iconic Star Wars universe. From the snowy plains of Hoth to the dense forests of Endor, players can expect to be transported to some of the most memorable locations from the films.
Longworth explains more:
The PlayStation team wanted to celebrate the launch of Star Wars Battlefront in the biggest way we could — with a love letter to one of the most enduring and inspiring fictional universes in human history.
We’d like to thank the team at Lucasfilm, who graciously allowed us to film certain props that were used in the classic trilogy. Does that Rebel helmet look familiar? You may have seen it before!
Thanks for reading and for watching. And get ready for the launch of Star Wars Battlefront starting November 17th — the Force is strong with PlayStation!
Special Features of the Limited Edition PS4 Bundle
The limited edition PS4 Star Wars Battlefront bundle is not just a regular console; it comes with several special features that make it a must-have for any Star Wars fan.
