Hello there,

Just wanted to drop a quick note with some info for you all.

It was around two years to the day that I first got the call asking if I wanted to work on Star Wars Battlefront II, and it didn’t take me too long to find myself moving across the country to DICE, a place I’d quickly call home.

There have been some great memories since then; The Clone Wars announce at EA Play, Geonosis trailer, Droideka reveal, meeting so many of you at Celebration, Felucia, Co-Op, and so much more. There’s been so many good times that recalling them all would be a CT in its own right.

It’s not all been about the game though, but the community itself. I’ve watched as the Star Wars Battlefront II Community has gone on to become one of the happiest across EA, and the entire industry.

I’ve watched as you’ve made me (and the team) laugh with some of your Sithpost Saturday submissions. The time spent on Discord just randomly chatting about Star Wars, and of course the Pineapple Pizza incident. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with you all.

I’ve been working in Community Management for over a decade now, across countless titles, platforms, cars, shooters, football, indies, and of course Star Wars. Ten years is a long time and while I’ve enjoyed (almost) every minute of it, it’s perhaps the right time to try something new. Which is why I will be leaving the Community organisation all together and transitioning over to be a Producer at DICE.

I’m incredibly proud of what the Star Wars Battlefront II team has accomplished and feel incredibly privileged to have been a part of it. The memories that have been made will last me a very long time to come.

As far as Communities go, you’ve been the best. Take care and always be excellent to each other. I hope that dam did finally burst for you ;)

I’ll still be around for a few week’s yet, so you’ll still see me in the usual places for the near future as I slowly fade away into a Force Ghost.

May the Force be with you

Ben
