STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT II: EA Reveals The Release Schedule For Clone Wars DLC, New Modes & More
The long-awaited roadmap for the free DLC coming to Battlefront II has been released, and it reveals the current release schedule for content like the highly anticipated Clone Wars DLC and new game modes...
After experiencing some delays, the folks over at EA have finally revealed the current schedule for most of the DLC planned for Star Wars Battlefront II, including the long-awaited Clone Wars content.
The roadmap reveals the first set of additions to the game will be coming in July and will include the new game mode "Hero Starfighters," as well as other minor changes like the ability to switch off lightsabers and change hero costumes during the pre-round phase.
In August, DICE will begin rolling out some free Clone Wars DLC, starting with some new appearances for Clone Troopers, along with more improvements like the ability to purchase victory poses and emotes with credits or crystals.
Perhaps the biggest piece of news, however, concerns the updates that will arrive this fall. During the fall season, fans will get more Clone Wars-inspired DLC with the arrival of fan-favorites like Obi-Wan Kenobi and General Grievous. Also, Battlefront II will finally add another large-scale mode, which some rumors suggest will be similar to the old "Galactic Conquest" mode. Finally, it will be much easier for friends to play together as a "Squad System" will be introduced.
Yet, fans shouldn’t expect the flow of fresh content to stop in the fall, for winter will also be bringing more exciting features. This includes expanding the roster of playable heroes to include Anakin Skywalker and Count Dooku and the release of the final set of Clone Trooper appearances. Plus, the planet Geonosis will finally make its debut as a brand-new map for players to enjoy.
Now, while this is all exciting news, it’s important to note that this schedule isn’t completely fixed in place, as more content - besides those listed on the roadmap - may be added.
