Battlefront fans were ecstatic when it was announced that Scarif was finally coming to Battlefront II, but it looks like the update has been delayed thanks to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.
As per the official update on Reddit, the update has been moved from the end of March to the middle of April. The DICE studio had started to transition into a ‘work-from-home’ operation, and this has lead to the delay of the update. No specific release date has been released, but at least we know that it comes out in the middle of next month and not toward the end.
Though it’s a bummer having to wait for the update for a little longer, the consolation is that we’re going to be getting some new skins for heroes and villains. We don’t know exactly what’s coming, but a lot are hoping that we finally get the Damaged Vader skin as well as a skin for Chewie where he has C-3PO strapped to his back. And though I’m not a fan of The Rise of Skywalker, Palpatine’s appearance with the red inner robe would be a great skin for the game.
With the cirus keeping everyone inside, it now feels like we’re needing video games more than ever. Let’s just be thankful that DICE is only delayed by a few weeks and not months like other releases.
Star Wars Battlefront II is now playable on Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4.
