front, then the book is an essential companion. It provides a rich backstory to the events of the game and expands on the world that the game takes place in. The book also explores the theme of soldiering in the Star Wars universe, giving readers a deeper understanding of the conflict that the game is centered around. Alexander Freed is a master storyteller, and Battlefront: Twilight Company is a testament to his skill.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 Is Pretty Amazing…
Star Wars Battlefront 2, the reboot of the 2005 game of the same name, was released in 2017 to mixed reactions. Many players were disappointed with the heavy monetization of the game, which included loot boxes and pay-to-win mechanics that gave players who were willing to spend extra money an unfair advantage over those who were not. These mechanics were so controversial that Disney, the owner of the Star Wars franchise, stepped in and told the developer, EA DICE, that the monetization was unbecoming of a Star Wars game. Despite the initial negative reception, EA DICE eventually stripped out all of the loot boxes and pay-to-win mechanics from the game, and many players now consider it to be “good.” I decided to try it for myself and see what the game had to offer modern audiences. First and foremost, the graphics in Battlefront 2 are absolutely stunning. The attention to…

We haven’t written about Star Wars Battlefront 2 in a bit, as the game seems to be dying out a bit.

Star Wars Battlefront II – May 28th Patch – Release Notes
The guys over at DICE have a small patch releasing on May 28 which aims to address a selection of issues that they have found, but also makes changes to the current milestone requirements for some of the appearances, including Darth Maul’s Old master. The Devs are making changes to the appearance milestone requirements, and instead of requiring you to defeat 5,000 enemies with a specific hero, this can now be done for any hero on their respective side.

Defeating enemies as a Light Side hero will be required to unlock the Luke Farmboy and Princess Leia appearances.

Is This the End for Star Wars Battlefront 2?
Things in the video game industry can move pretty quickly sometimes. And other times they can crawl like a snail. Due to the coronavirus pandemic sweeping the globe right now, we’re seeing unpredictable behaviors in our games, especially multi-player games. Star Wars Battlefront 2 is not immune to this. We already reported that the Battle of Scarif update has been postponed. Given the state of things in the world, this is understandable and that alone is not reason to suspect the game could be on the decline. There are some other concerns being discussed such as the favorite community manager stepping down from the role because he got a promotion and there’s been no mention of who the replacement for Ben will be. In this video, TheOzzyJedi talks about why he’s a bit worried about Star Wars Battlefront 2. Again, we’re taking longevity of the game. Of course, we know…

The coronavirus pandemic sweeping the globe is impacting every industry, and the gaming industry is no exception. The popular Star Wars Battlefront II was set to receive a pretty big update this past week. The anticipated Battle of Scarif Update (free) would be adding a lot of new content for players to consume. It was expected to add the planet Scarif to Supremacy and other game modes. It also brought Original Trilogy content to Supremacy. However, this major update has since been delayed. To prevent the spread of the virus and keep people safe, employees from industries all over the globe are laid off or transitioned to working from home. DICE is included in this, which is why the update has been postponed, but not canceled. “The Star Wars team have now moved away from our office setup and into our homes,” an official statement from the game’s community manager, Ben Walke…

But here’s some adorable news for you: The Star Wars Battlefront II community now gets to play as Baby Yoda, with the help of a mod you can install in your game. The mod was created by the user Nanobuds and turns the existing BB-8 hero into Baby Yoda from the Disney+ show The Mandalorian.

Star Wars Battlefront II – The BB Update & Age of Rebellion on the way
Here are the latest patch notes for Star Wars: Battlefront 2 INCOMING TRANSMISSIONWe’re back with more news and information on the next update for Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II. Back in December, we mentioned that both BB-8 and BB-9E would be coming to the game, and you also got a sneak-peek at them in the trailer we released. Known for his courage, BB-8 will play his part as an offensive hero. This will help balance out the light side, which currently has a support-oriented roster. With an Astromech joining the light side, it seems only fitting that the dark side should also get one. That’s where BB-9E comes into play. While BB-8’s bravery helps him charge into the battlefront, BB-9E is cold, calculating, and will play more of a support role, fitting in nicely with the dark side Hero roster. As January comes to a close, our attention turns to February and,…
You Can Now Play as LEGO Yoda in Star Wars Battlefront 2 (With Mods)
Tired of looking at an overly CGI-generated version of Yoda in Star Wars: Battlefront 2? Well, with the help of a mod by user Dulana57 on NexusMods you can change the character model for everyone’s favorite, green Jedi into a LEGO-style master of the Force. While the mod is purely cosmetic and only for Yoda, it’s still a nifty creation for your mod collection. The character model is well-made, semi-naturally fits in with the SWBF2 world, and is fully animated as well. On NexusMods this particular mod is titled “LEGO Yoda Mod”. It’s available for download and use now. Mods can be a great way to breath new life into an aging game. There are a few decent ones available for Star Wars: Battlefront 2. It has been noted, however, that, due to developer restrictions, that it has been somewhat challenging for even the most dedicated modding champions to create…
Star Wars: Battlefront 2 Leia Full Nude Mod
It’s been 2 years since the launch of Star Wars: Battlefront 2 and we’re still seeing interesting mods pop up every now and then. One that is sure to grab the attention of long-time Princess Leia fanboys is a recently released full nude mod for Leia’s character in SWBF2. Yup, you read that correctly – with the use of a mod that just became available for download on NexusMods, players have the ability to traverse the sprawling landscapes of the game dawning nothing more than Leia’s birthday suit. It’s worth noting that the mod goes into quite a bit of detail as well. Due to the adult nature of the mod, we won’t be including any graphic images or a direct link. All you have to do, though, is head over to NexusMods, log into your account, make sure that adult content is activated within your account setting, go to…
Star Wars: Battlefront 2’s The Rise of Skywalker Drops Next Month
Getting a little bored with Star Wars: Battlefront 2 and need a reason to keep playing or take another look at it? Well, December may very well be your best chance to do so. The entire month has been dubbed a “celebration month” by EA DICE and it all kicks off with the addition of The Rise of Skywalker content for SWBF2. The developers have been tight-lipped when it comes to what to actually expect from the Skywalker update, unfortunately. It’s probably safe to assume, however, that we will see the addition of some new maps and possibly a new character or two. This new content update is, of course, due out just before the theatrical release of the new movie – Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The movie will hit theaters on December 20th and is a continuation of the latest series of Star Wars films beginning with…
