It was already revealed back in late April that EA wouldn’t add season pass for Star Wars Battlefront II, and yesterday, the publisher confirmed this to be true. Instead the game will Star Wars Battlefront II. The first content update will arive togeter with Star Wars: The last jedi in december, and add Finn and Captain Phasma to the game, as well as planet Crait. This all sound good and nice, but Speaking to GameSpot, the game’s design director Niklas Fegraeus said the game will add microtransactions to the game. Fegraeus elaborated on the new system as follows: “When you want to progress and get stuff, you can either play the game and when you play you earn the in-game currency, and with that you can spend towards whatever you want, if you want to accelerate that, if you can’t play for a week, you can purchase that. The important thing is everything can…

Star Wars Battlefront 2: Official Gameplay Trailer
So the new Star Wars Battlefront 2: Official Gameplay Trailer just hit the internet… Kashyyyk, Kamino, starkiller base, Yavin, holy shit. Did y’all see that wookiee. First shown at E3 in Los Angeles, the new trailer demonstrates just how expansive it will be, pulling in characters, locations, and vehicles that cover the entire 40-year history of the saga. It even has those Phantom Menace battle droids ( they look pretty dope eh? ) That beginning shot of the The First Order switching to Stormtroppers switching to Clones with the lightning flashes is so awesome. We’re still early in the hype cycle for the game, but this might be good guys. Story mode seems interesting to. What do you thing guys? Did EA just redeem itself? Holy shit. If they can deliver on what this trailer promises…. this will be one of the greatest games. And I’m just so happy prequels aren’t ignored…
Star Wars Battlefront 2 gameplay footage leaks
Someone “accidentally” leaked 12 minutes of gameplay from the upcomming Star Wars Battlefront 2 online. This 12 minute video gives us a good taste of how it will look and feel to play as Darth Maul and Rey. Check out the video below. While the video quality is a bit lacking, this gives you a pretty decent sense of the game and it’s pretty cool to see Rey going toe-to-toe with Darth Maul. The footage was original shared by youtuber NukemDukem’s EA Play footage, which was likely recorded before the event. The video featured a “sponsored by EA” graphic in the lower left-hand corner, but has now been removed. But as with anything ells on the web, it has been shared and is now all over the place for our viewing pleasure. Star Wars Battlefront 2 is slated for release on November 17 for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 with a…
