Less than 2 weeks after the first hints from the new game director at DICE – Dennis Brännvall, when he posted a ton of interesting updates on his Twitter account, now we have an official message from DICE and EA!
With the release of The Last Jedi Season, the Resistance’s brave freedom fighters and the First Order’s imposing stormtroopers engaged in desperate showdowns on Crait over 156 million times, while X-wings and TIE fighters chased each other through the skies above D’Qar.
Together, you completed over 10 million quests for your factions. 58% of you chose to join Captain Phasma and the First Order, while 42% fought alongside Finn and the Resistance.
And to quote Luke Skywalker on the salt-covered plains of Crait, “the war is just beginning.” The most recent update added Iden’s TIE/LN fighter as a hero starfighter and incorporated the Crait map into Blast Mode. The next few months are packed with massive additions to Star Wars Battlefront II.
Let’s take a look at what is coming in February and March!
New Game Mode – Jetpack Cargo
Coming in February is a brand new multiplayer game mode – Jetpack Cargo! Two teams of eight players equipped with jet packs compete in Jetpack Cargo, a frantic, fast-paced way to play. This mode will only be available for a limited time, so don’t miss it.
If you have loved playing as the Jump Troopers, you would probably love this mode too. There is no official information at this time when in February it is expected to be released nor for how long will players be able to play it. There will likely be special rewards and achievements for it too.
Star Wars Battlefront II Multiplayer Modes Overview
New Season coming soon
The first season – The Last Jedi – and it introduced Phasma and Finn as new playable hero classes. Recently Patch 1.1 brought Iden as well as her own ship and unique star cards to the table and a new map. DICE devs admit they have learned a lot from the first season of content for Star Wars Battlefront II, and are integrating those insights into their plans moving forward. Info on the next season will arrive very soon!
Revamped Progression System
I saved the best for last! A completely revamped Progression System is coming to Star Wars Battlefront 2 soon! Community’s feedback has been essential here, says DICE, and some significant changes to progression will address many of the things players have been asking for. More information on these changes will be announced in March, which most likely means that they will not affect the second season, but most likely will be introduced for the 3rd season in March or April 2018.
