We got the Rise of Skywalker update for Star Wars Battlefront II last December, but DICE and the devs have something for us this month as well. We’re finally going to be getting the Sequel Trilogy era for Capital Supremacy, plus two new hero droids in the form of BB-8 and BB-9E.
This news comes from an update from community manager Ben Walke:
While we already know what the Jakku, Takodana, and Ajan Kloss maps look like thanks to Co-Op, we have yet to find out the interiors of the capital ships for the Resistance and the First Order. Hopefully, with the update, we can get a video which would give us a good look.
As for upcoming heroes BB-8 and BB-9E, we don’t have that much details on how they play yet, but it has been confirmed that they will move with the same speed as the droideka—which means they could be pretty fast. It’s also been said that BB-8 plays more offensively with 9E acting as support. We don’t have any specifics yet, but hopefully, everything is clarified with the next community transmission.
Things are looking up for DICE when it comes to Star Wars Battlefront II. After a disastrous launch in 2017, the devs have managed to scrape together a game that is now worthy of the Star Wars brand. Let’s hope they manage to keep this ship sailing for a few more years before the inevitable sequel.
Star Wars Battlefront II is now playable for Xbox One, PC, and PS4.
