It suggests the game will allow for multiplayer modes, and shows several battle scenes, including one between Yoda and Darth Maul.

Gaming companies have been struggling recently to stop trailers going out online before they're meant to.

In the last few weeks, Overwatch: Uprising, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker and Agents of Mayhem have all been illegally published online.
