As game makers, watching millions of passionate players get their hands on our game has been incredibly exciting and – in many ways – inspiring. Believe us when we say that your participation is making the game better, and we’re humbled that so many of you took time to not only try the Star Wars Battlefront II Beta, but to share your thoughts with us too.

There is more player choice in multiplayer through a deeper progression system and an evolving, event-driven live service that keeps the community together by moving away from Season Pass and having all new gameplay content free for all Star Wars Battlefront II players.

Rest assured, we’re continuing to listen to you coming out of Beta. We’re taking a look at some of the most discussed ...

The training wheels have come off in Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II's Starfighter Assault. This time around you're in absolute control over your speed, pitch, roll, and weapons as you pilot an assortment of lovingly-recreated Star Wars™ fighters. It's an entirely different experience than what you've played in the original Star Wars Battlefront's starfighter duels, whether you're rolling away from blaster fire in Darth Maul's Scimitar fighter or blasting an enemy ARC-170 out of the sky. 

The acrobatic maneuvers are entirely of your own invention. Every shift of the sticks results in a delightfully smooth response from your craft. It's a pure skill environment where the true ace pilots will rise above the rest on the merits of their wits and reflexes.

As First Order troopers plod toward you across the frozen wastes of Starkiller Base, you’ll sprint from cover to cover, your weapon blazing fire as you evade blaster bolts. Your shots are absorbed by the shield of an opposing heavy trooper. Desperately, you toss a Thermal Detonator just as you're defeated. You both fall, and the stormtroopers advance.

In a galaxy of conflict, not all heroes choose the path of Rebellion. Loyalty and bravery know many forms, and many proudly pledge to the cause of the Empire. Strip off the iconic stormtrooper mask or fighter pilot helmet and you’ll find a distinctive individual underneath.

Their leader is Commander Iden Versio, a young and brave Imperial commander raised under the tutelage of her father, Admiral Garrick Versio. Inferno Squad has grown into something of a family over the course of long Galactic Civil War.

Iden's two closest teammates are Gideon Hask and Del Meeko, extraordinary soldiers in their own ri...
