Huge news was released today for Star Wars Battlefront 2. 136211
EA CFO Blake Jorgensen said during an earnings call yesterday that The Force Awakens as well.
Jorgensen said:
Next year we’ll see Star Wars Battlefront back with bigger and better worlds, because we now have the new movies to work off [and] not just the historical movies that we used before.
So what else can we expect from this sequel? Well, new characters will be a start. While there have been expansion packs released for Battlefront since it’s release, there have not been any new characters added and it could be because all along they new the sequels were Kylo Ren and Captain Phasma on the villain side.
We also know that Rogue One: A is set to release this winter so characters from that film might also make it into Star Wars Battlefront 2. We could see new vehicles, weapons, and more.
Look for more info as we have it and expect to see a release date for Star Wars Battlefront 2 sometime in 2017.
