Battlefront II will have a single-player campaign that takes place between the events on Endor in Return of the Jedi, and where the story picks back up in The Force Awakens.
The campaign appears to focus on the "untold soldier's story." I imagine this means that you'll play as a regular fighter rather than a hero. In other words, don't expect to play as a Jedi Knight or Chewbacca in the campaign.
The game will span more films than the previous entry, meaning you'll be able to play heroes from the prequel games like Darth Maul (who we see squaring off against Yoda in the trailer) to modern characters like Rey.
Pre-order customers will get exclusive content from The Last Jedi, meaning the game will span all eras of Star Wars films, but not necessarily for everyone.
There will be an offline 'skirmish' option that let's you play in various modes at various difficulty settings against bots.
There are rumors of a 4K optimized edition for the Scorpio, which means this will also likely be the case for the PS4 Pro. Should be a very, very pretty game, though I was more
impressed by the sound design than the visuals last time.
The game launches this winter/holiday season. The last game released on November 17th, 2015. Expect a similar release date this year.
May the NFOrce be with you always.

The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

It didn’t take long for DICE to address the rumors swirling tonight about Star Wars Battlefront II’s paid currency being removed from every marketplace.
Really enjoyed the campaign despite finishing it in a single 5 hour sitting. Glad they’re coming more campaign missions for the DLC as well as multiplayer. And it’s free
The next big Star Wars Battlefront II update is coming on Tuesday, April 18, and is titled Night on Endor.
Ewok Hunt
For the first time in Star Wars Battlefront II, you will be able to play as Ewoks. Take to the forest moon of Endor in this new game mode, Ewok Hunt.
The ambush begins as the Ewok attacks the unsuspecting stormtroopers, using spears, Wisties, and whatever abilities they can muster to take down the intruders. Each defeated stormtrooper spawns as another Ewok, multiplying until the Empire’s forces have been completely eliminated, and the Ewok celebration can begin. Imperial forces will need all their training to survive until their evacuation arrives. Do so, and they’ll make it off of Endor and claim the win.
New Appearances
The addition of new appearances are some of the most requested items to date amongst the Battlefront II Community and we’re pleased to confirm that more are on the way, starting this month.
So here’s what’s arriving in this update for heroes:
Wounded Chewbacca, with Arm Patch
Scarred Kylo Ren, Patch over Scar
Administrator Lando, Bespin
Commander Iden, no Helmet
Hooded Yoda, pulled up Hood
Endor Leia
Endor Han
Ahch-To Rey
Trooper Appearances
Heroes aren’t the only ones getting some new Appearances, as Troopers are also going to be receiving some brand-new looks. We know this is something that many of you have been asking for, so we can’t wait to see them in action across the galaxy.
In total there are forty new Trooper Appearances, including new Officer Appearances for both the First Order and The Empire.
Rebels will be receiving Appearances across all Trooper classes, including the Heavy Quarren Rebel and the Twi’lek Specialist.
Heavy Zabrak and a Duros Officer are just two of the appearances that you’ll have available when playing as the Resistance.
Game Improvements
In the next update you will be able to convert Crafting Parts to Skill Points. Simply head into the Collection menu, select the Hero, Class or Vehicle of your choosing and you’ll be able to purchase skill Points, using your already existing Crafting Parts. One Skill Point will cost you 40 Crafting Parts.
Winning a round will now provide you a small bonus to the Credits you earn, making those wins that little bit extra valuable. A great way to earn some additional Credits towards the Appearance you have your eyes set on.
Upcoming Challenges
We’ve got some great Challenges coming up, and fans of Emotes are going to enjoy the two below:

Objective: Defeat 25 Enemies in Night on Endor

Remember that there’s a new Challenge every day and a bonus one over each weekend.
Balancing, Bugs and Tweaks
We’ve heard a lot about the Iden the last couple of weeks and the consensus amongst the Community has been that she was a little overpowered. We agree, and as a result of this we’ve removed the double stun from her Stun Droid. We’ve also increased the stun duration from 0.5 to 0.9 seconds.
The intent was to give players a chance to roll away from the second stun and provide some skill reward. This became confusing and rarely did it play out as we originally intended. What we saw was players being stunned for a total of 2.3 seconds, which usually resulted in defeat.
We’ve also made some tweaks to the core combat system. We have improved the melee combat responsiveness for all melee attacks including things like lightsabers and Phasma’s staff attack. Timing for effects, audio, camera shake, and the application of damage has been aligned to the expected moment of the impact to make the melee combat experience tighter and to reduce the feeling of latency.
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
