On This Day in Battlefront History: “Another Night on Endor” Update Turns Six

Six years ago today, Star Wars Battlefront II players ventured back into the dark forests of Endor — and the screams still echo.

Released in October 2019, the “Another Night on Endor” update brought one of the game’s most memorable limited-time modes to new heights. The spooky, moonlit chaos of Ewok Hunt returned with fresh content, enhanced visuals, and new hero appearances — making it a standout moment in DICE’s post-launch roadmap for the beloved shooter.

The Return of the Hunt

The centerpiece of the update was a brand-new Ewok Hunt map, expanding on the terrifying nighttime survival mode that turned players into either predator or prey.

In this asymmetric horror experience, stormtroopers tried to survive the night against the fuzzy, furious, and highly motivated Ewoks of Endor. Players stalked through pitch-black forests, guided only by the faint beam of a flashlight — and the haunting sound of Ewok horns echoing through the trees.

The new map deepened that tension, adding new paths, hiding spots, and more dynamic lighting to make every encounter even more unpredictable.

Hero Updates and Fresh Appearances

Beyond the hunt, the Another Night on Endor update gave the heroes of Battlefront II some wardrobe love. DICE introduced new Hero appearances, allowing players to further customize fan-favorites from both the Light and Dark sides of the Force.

The patch also added Heroes vs. Villains (HvV) on Felucia, giving fans a lush new battleground to test their lightsaber skills amid the planet’s psychedelic plant life and fungal forests.

These additions weren’t just aesthetic — they helped cement Battlefront II’s late-game revival, a period in which the community rallied around regular updates, seasonal events, and steady gameplay balance improvements.

The Update That Proved Battlefront II’s Resilience

By the time “Another Night on Endor” dropped, Battlefront II had already undergone a massive redemption arc. After its controversial 2017 launch, DICE’s long-term commitment to community feedback turned the game into one of the most polished and content-rich Star Wars experiences available.

This Halloween-inspired update encapsulated that spirit perfectly — celebrating the weird, the spooky, and the cinematic with just the right amount of Star Wars charm.

Remembering the Legacy

Even six years later, “Another Night on Endor” remains a fan favorite. It captured that perfect blend of Star Wars whimsy and eerie suspense — reminding players that even in the most beautiful corners of the galaxy, danger (and adorable furry murder) could be lurking in the shadows.

If you’re feeling nostalgic, this is the perfect time to revisit Endor, crank up the flashlight, and relive one of Battlefront II’s best updates.

Just… don’t follow the sound of the drums.
