On This Day in Battlefront History: Star Wars Battlefront – Ultimate Edition Turns 9 Years Old!

Nine years. That’s how long it’s been since Star Wars Battlefront: Ultimate Edition landed and gave us the closest thing to a playable Star Wars museum—packed with blasters, starfighters, and enough nostalgia to fill a Jawa sandcrawler. Released on this day exactly nine years ago, the Ultimate Edition marked the final, polished form of DICE’s rebooted Battlefront (2015), bundling the entire DLC lineup into one massive package.

Looking back, it’s still one of the most important releases in the modern era of Star Wars gaming.

The Complete Battlefront Experience

The Ultimate Edition wasn’t just a rerelease—it was a celebration. It included:

• Outer Rim
• Bespin
• Death Star
• Rogue One: Scarif
• The Battlefront Season Pass
• All the iconic maps, heroes, modes, and cosmetic additions from the game’s entire life cycle

For a lot of players, this was the moment the game finally felt “complete.” Whether you were diving into Walker Assault on Hoth, sneaking through Jabba’s Palace, or dogfighting above the Death Star, the Ultimate Edition delivered a polished and fully stacked Battlefront experience.

Why It Still Matters Today

The release of the Ultimate Edition basically set the stage for Battlefront II (2017) and the massive live-service model that came after. It’s part of the lineage that eventually gave us Capital Supremacy, The Clone Wars revival, reinvigorated hero rosters, and some of the best Star Wars visuals ever put into a game.

Even now, nearly a decade later, the 2015 Battlefront stands out for:

• Its unmatched Frostbite engine visuals (still gorgeous)
• Its fast, arcade-style gameplay
• Its focus on original trilogy locations and classic Star Wars atmosphere
• Its accessible, jump-in-and-blast-stormtroopers-in-the-face simplicity

Battlefront may not have had the deepest progression system, but what it did have was pure Star Wars energy.

And sometimes, that’s all we really want.

A Snapshot of Star Wars Gaming History

In 2025, with Battlefront II celebrated more than ever thanks to a massive modding scene, it’s easy to forget how important the 2015 installment was. It reminded the gaming world that Star Wars shooters could still feel big, cinematic, and joyful—something fans desperately needed after years without a major Star Wars FPS.

The Ultimate Edition release ensured the game lived on far beyond its original launch window. For many players, it became the version that sparked their love for modern Battlefront.

And for longtime Star Wars gamers?
It’s a little time capsule—one that still brings instant nostalgia every time someone boots it up.

Celebrating 9 Years Later

So here’s to the Star Wars Battlefront: Ultimate Edition, released 9 years ago today. Whether you only dipped into it for the campaigns and co-op missions or spent hundreds of hours grinding hero pickups on Hero Hunt, this edition shaped a generation of Star Wars shooter fans.

Fire up your favorite mode. Equip your DL-44. And remember: no matter how many years go by, nothing hits quite like blasting stormtroopers on Hoth at sunset.
