The release of Star Wars Battlefront 2 is just around the corner. If you’re not quite sure whether to join, this summary might help you make your decision.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 is an online shooter developed by DICE and published by Electronic Arts. The focus is on multiplayer battles, but the title also offers a single-player campaign that aims to tell an exciting story.
Important:
- The DLCs such as new heroes and maps are distributed for free.
- A loot box system provides random content like star cards that grant you new abilities or boosts, heroes and starfighters, credits, emotes, and crafting materials.
Criticism of Loot Boxes
This loot box system is at the center of some criticism, as it was noticeably easier to obtain star cards and new heroes as well as starfighters during the beta and in the EA Access and Origin Access versions if you purchased these boxes with real money instead of earning them over a longer period of time.
The developers have since made some adjustments. We will find out how well the system works and whether further optimization is needed after the official launch of the online shooter.
What Has Been Shown So Far
Several contents of the game have already been shown in advance. These include:
- Gameplay from the first mission – You witness how the single-player campaign begins.
- The campaign mission for the Battle of Endor – Hero Iden Versio participates in the iconic battle, which is shown in the game from the perspective of the Empire.
- Galactic Assault mode on Endor – You see how the rebels attempt to steal an AT-AT while the Empire tries to prevent it.
- Battle on the Forest Planet Kashyyyk – A video of the Strike mode taking place on the new map Kashyyyk.
- Attack on Kamino – Starfighters like the Arc-170, the Millennium Falcon, and Poe Dameron’s Resistance X-Wing battle on the map Kamino.
- Six maps from the online shooter – Six interesting maps from Star Wars Battlefront 2 are presented, including Kashyyyk, Tatooine, Hoth, and Endor.
