BATTLEFRONT II

(2005)

rior to release, Star

Wars Battlefront II

suffered from

controversy due to its

aggressive loot boxes

and the way progression was handled,

causing the developers to completely

remove the option for loot boxes on

the first day of release. Despite this,

Battlefront II has gone on to become

possibly the best Battlefront game of

all time. Following feedback from the

first game, this sequel features a

fantastic single-player campaign.

The story begins around the same

time as the ending of Return Of The

Jedi, where the second Death Star is

destroyed, and follows the journey of

Iden Versio, an Imperial commander

and leader of Inferno Squad. Upon

witnessing the destruction of the

Death Star and the subsequent

discovery that the Emperor has died,

Iden and her team continue to do the

Empire’s bidding until they become

disillusioned and switch sides to join

the Rebellion. Short appearances from

Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, as well

as other notable characters from the

film are seen, too. The story was one

of the highlights of the whole game,

by being both compelling and

insightful, giving us a different

Empire-centric perspective.

Instead of a season pass, all players

were able to obtain all additional

content at no extra cost. These packs

focused on different films and

characters in the Star Wars universe.

The first of these seasons was based

around Episode VIII: The Last Jedi, but

also included some addition campaign

DLC. The upcoming fourth season will

all be about Episode IX: The Rise Of

Skywalker. New Clone Wars era-DLC is

on the way too. Q
