The PlayStation 4 footage showcased a land-air skirmish between Empire and Republic forces on the icy planet Hoth, culminating with Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader locking light sabers.

'Today, by far the best place to truly lose yourself and interact with 'Star Wars' is video games,' senior producer Sigurlina Ingvarsdottir told the crowd inside the Shrine Auditorium.

EA also announced an expansion for the online role-playing game 'Star Wars: The Old Republic' dubbed 'Knights of the Fallen Empire' and a new mobile collectable card game called 'Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes.'
