Plus, in 2020, the mode will grow to encompass Resistance and First Order battles.īetween being able to tear a capital ship out of the sky in Capital Supremacy, blow other ships to smithereens in Starfighter Assault, and the standard objective-based ground combat, Battlefront 2 now feels like a Star Wars toy box – and the new Rise Of Skywalker update only adds to that.Ī new map arrives today, but already this week there’s been new appearances for Rey, Finn, and Kylo Ren, while BB-8 is being added as a playable character in 2020.

It’s the closest EA has come to Battlefield 2142’s oft-forgotten Titan mode and is a lot fun. Once you claim a majority, a percentage bar fills up, and once you reach 100% you can board the enemy’s capital ship to destroy it from within. Limited to the Clone Wars era at present, teams of 20 players (flanked by bots) battle over command posts. Fresh characters like General Grievous, Count Dooku, and Captain Phasma have been added, alongside new vehicles – although do we really need three versions of the Millennium Falcon?Īrguably the best addition is the Capital Supremacy mode from earlier this year.

It’s unlikely even the most die-hard Star Wars fan would be returning to the game two years after release if there wasn’t something new to do, but thankfully Battlefront 2 has seen a steady stream of updates over the months and years. In the same way that the most bumbling Call Of Duty player can eventually earn their way to Prestige, Battlefront 2 allows players to improve their classes just by sticking with the game. That means spending your time playing the way you want actually allows you to reinvest and double-down on the character class you choose. Levelling up a class earns a skill point to be used only on that class.
