So perhaps it’s not the most consistent of policies, but regardless, it sounds like we can count on not seeing any PT or TFA-inspired content until Battlefront 2. That particular engagement did not happen until sometime after Return of the Jedi, and while it’s still decades away from TFA-era stuff, it’s still not OT.

After attending a Star Wars Battlefront 2 Q and A session this past weekend, YouTuber BattlefrontUpdates reveals new multiplayer details including why destruction isnt being used.

As soon as it was finished i launched the game from Origin, it minimized Origin and after like 15 seconds just opened Origin again without any notification or explanation. So far, Star Wars Battlefront has only included content inspired by the Original Trilogy time period, and from the sound of it, that’s not going to change.Īccording to EA’s Blake Jorgensen, don’t hold your breath for any battle droids or First Order stormtroopers, as this edition of Battlefront will be keeping it 100% OT.
