What initially drew me into the sequel was the announcement of a single-player story to play alongside the option of the multiplayer modes. I am not someone to regularly enjoy online multiplayer games, especially shooters, and the lack of a single player story meant that I never looked at 2015’s Star Wars Battlefront. One great way to immediately bring in more gamers is to make sure there is something for everyone. Star Wars games can still be incredibly profitable but also made for the fans, because it is an IP that will entice gamers who wouldn’t usually try that genre of game (you’ll never see me on COD or Battlefield but Star Wars Battlefront II is probably my most-played game!), the key is finding the right company to trust with the licence. You just have to look at the release of Star Wars Battlefront II and the way they treated Mass Effect: Andromeda to see that EA only care about the $$$$, not the fans. On top of that, though Jedi: Fallen Order was a very impressive game, it does not have a high repeatability, while a number of other Star Wars games have been cancelled under EA’s watch.
Star Wars Battlefront II got the wrong kind of attention when it was released due to EA’s pathetic focus on pay-to-win content, which completely overshadowed anything good about the game and resulted in much of the first year of support being about putting the game in the state it should have been at release rather than providing us new content. Take the Star Wars licence away from EA as soon as possible. Now I admit straight away that this will sound like a LOT of content, and it is! But a game these days needs to have a significant amount of content to start with and then can add to this with more content every month or so to keep the game fresh. I think it will be a couple of years until we hear of a Star Wars Battlefront 3… if at all!īut what would we love to see from that game when (if) it comes? I give my thought on what I would love to see from a future game. With this game coming to an end, the hope would be that a sequel will be in the works in the near future, but to be honest I doubt that is the case right now given we are entering a period where new Star Wars content will be limited to Disney+ series rather than movies.
A game that was released in a frankly embarrassing state is now a very good game but there was so much more that could have been done with the game, but if the companies aren’t making money, the fans don’t matter and it’s on to the next game.
Star Wars Battlefront II‘s Battle of Scarif update is out and we have reached the end of DICE’s support for the game.
