Importantly, the community hasn't been split up, so that means the new edition won't be giving players access to any exclusive stuff beyond the customisation goodies. While DICE and EA took a bruising at launch for Battlefront 2's business model, it's since become considerably more generous, and it's received plenty of free updates that have introduced new maps, modes, characters and vehicles. Updates for February and March also look like they're on the cards, but we'll have to wait until next year to find out what they contain. Astromechs are surprisingly good in a fight. BB-8 and BB-9E will also be joining the fight for the Resistance and First Order respectively. In January, the Capital Supremacy mode will hit Jakku and the new planet, and both will also be playable offline in Instant Action. More sequel trilogy updates will be coming, too.
Finn, Rey and Kylo Ren are also getting new looks.Īll but the new planet will be available on December 17, and on December 20 you'll be able to go on your tropical holiday, just in time for the launch of the movie. On the Resistance side, there's the Gunner and Spy, giving you two new aliens to play with. A new tropical world from the new movie will be available in co-op, along with four new special units, including the Sith Infiltrator and First Order Jet Trooper. Details on December's second update, based on Rise of the Skywalker, have also been spilled.
