Star Wars Battlefront II Lays Out Content Map For Next Couple Months
It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost one year since the launch of Star Wars Battlefront II. One year since the controversies that shook the video game industry in such a way that it’s continuing to this day. And one year since the teams at DICE and EA had to scramble in order to fix many of the things that had made the game unfair or unplayable to gamers. Over the course of that year they have done a lot to make it up to fans, and they’re continuing to do so.
One their official blog, the Star Wars Battlefront II team decided to lay out what the game would have in terms of content. Here’s a glimpse into some of what they noted.
November – More Hero Appearances and a Small Update on Geonosis
In November, Obi-Wan Kenobi*** is entering the battlefront, and he’s wearing his Jedi Master Appearance from the get-go. At the same time, Obi-Wan’s Robed Appearance** and another to-be-announced Appearance** for General Grievous are approaching.
Here’s a neat little tidbit about November’s release of Geonosis: this new location will feature the native Geonosians as part of its living world (non-interactive environment). The Geonosians played an important role in the Clone Wars colluding with the Separatists, led by Count Dooku, to develop plans for the first Death Star.
December – No Game Updates
December will see no new game updates, as we’re preparing the Clone Wars content releasing in early 2019 – including a new large-scale, non-linear game mode.
2019 will feature content as well for at least the first few months.
January – Count Dooku, the Coruscant Guard, and Even More Hero Appearances
Then, to kick off the new year, January will see the release of Count Dooku*** plus an additional Appearance** for the Separatist leader. Obi-Wan is expanding his wardrobe even further with the General Kenobi Appearance**, and the Coruscant Guard clone trooper Appearances** are joining the forces of the Galactic Republic.
February – Anakin Skywalker and New Large-Scale, Non-Linear Mode
Anakin Skywalker***, an additional Appearance** for the same, and the 501st Legion clone trooper Appearances** arrive to the game in February. You’ll be able to play with them in our new, large-scale, non-linear game mode featuring capture points and capital ship takedowns.
So as you can see, the game is going to be sticking around in terms of content for some time.
