About

Star Wars Battlefront II is a first- and third-person shooter set across all three eras of the Star Wars saga. Players engage in large-scale ground and space battles using class-based soldiers, reinforcements, vehicles, and iconic heroes or villains from the franchise. Multiplayer modes span maps drawn from locations across the films, while a single-player campaign follows an original story set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. The game launched in 2017 amid a major loot box controversy that led to the removal of microtransactions and a complete overhaul of its progression system, after which it received years of free content updates that substantially expanded its offerings.
