Star Wars: The Last Jedi inspired content added to Battlefront II as a free season

As part of the first free season of content in Star Wars Battlefront II, fans can jump into the action and experience the excitement of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Key highlights of the season include:

• Players can play as either Finn or Captain Phasma and both are now unlocked without any Credits required for players who log in during the season.
• Players can also immerse themselves in the authentic sounds and high-fidelity visuals of two all new locations straight out of the film. Battle on Crait in epic 20 vs 20 Galactic Assault matches or go above the Resistance Base on the planet D’Qar in intense 12 vs 12 Starfighter Assault dogfights in space.
• Star Wars Battlefront II Resurrection comes available for free as a part of Star Wars Battlefront II The Last Jedi Season, allowing players to continue Iden Versio’s journey through the First Order’s rise to power. Taking place after completion of the single player campaign, Iden returns to search for answers in three all new chapters. In her pursuit, she uncovers secrets of the First Order that leads into the events of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

To begin Star Wars Battlefront II The Last Jedi Season, players must first choose to fight for the Resistance or The First Order. This choice will be linked to recurring Challenges that rewards players on both the individual and faction-wide levels.

Star Wars Battlefront II is powered by three powerhouse studios – DICE, Criterion Games, and Motive Studios – and in partnership with Lucasfilm, delivers three times the content than its predecessor. Spanning all three cinematic eras, the game allows players to live out their deepest Star Wars fantasies as a trooper on the ground, an ace pilot dogfighting in space, and an epic hero dominating the battlefront.

40 years of Star Wars games in one picture!

Popular sci-fi franchise Star Wars celebrates 40 years of existence with the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The original trilogy consisting of Episodes IV,V & VI have become a cult classic and thereafter spawned many products under the Star Wars banner including movies, cartoon series, action figures and more. IGDB recently put up an infographic about the video games within the Star Wars franchise. There are a total of 110 titles (excluding DLCs, learning software etc..) and franchise is one of the few that has seen a release on almost every gaming platform and generation these past 40 years, making it a formidable case study to visualize such data.
