Six years ago today, Star Wars Battlefront II released The Rise of Skywalker trailer — a celebratory look back at everything the game had become after two full years of post-launch support.
More than just a movie tie-in, the trailer functioned as a milestone. It highlighted new content inspired by The Rise of Skywalker while also serving as a victory lap for a game that had undergone one of the most dramatic turnarounds in modern multiplayer history.
A Trailer That Meant More Than New Content
By the time the Rise of Skywalker trailer dropped, Battlefront II was no longer defined by its troubled launch. Instead, it had evolved into a content-rich Star Wars sandbox shaped by consistent updates, community feedback, and steady iteration.
The trailer celebrated:
- New sequel trilogy content
- Expanded hero and villain rosters
- Additional maps and modes
- Two years of continuous updates and improvements
It wasn’t just promoting what was coming next — it was acknowledging how far the game had already come.
Two Years That Changed Everything
Those first two years were transformative for Battlefront II. What began as a divisive release gradually became a fan-favorite multiplayer experience, supported by:
- Free content drops
- Expanded eras and characters
- Gameplay rebalancing
- A growing sense of trust between developers and players
By the time The Rise of Skywalker trailer arrived, the narrative around the game had shifted. Battlefront II was no longer a cautionary tale — it was proof that long-term support could redefine a live-service title.
A Celebration of the Journey
The tone of the trailer reflected that change. Rather than focusing solely on one update, it highlighted the game’s journey across all three Star Wars eras, reminding players of just how much content had been added since launch.
It felt less like an advertisement and more like a thank-you — a moment for players and developers alike to recognize the shared effort that kept the game alive and growing.
Looking Back Six Years Later
Today, six years on, the Rise of Skywalker trailer stands as a snapshot of Battlefront II at its peak. It captured a moment when the game had found its footing, earned back goodwill, and delivered on the promise of being a true celebration of Star Wars across generations.
For longtime players, it’s a reminder of why Battlefront II still holds a special place in Star Wars gaming history — not because it was perfect at launch, but because of what it became.
