Star Wars Battlefront 2 promises to be a much broader answer to the complaints that Star Wars Battlefront was short on content at launch. The new game has more modes, maps, and heroes, as well as a brand-new single-player campaign that takes place immediately after the destruction of the second Death Star. It's an encouraging spate of improvements -- its predecessor really was an excellent game in many ways, there just wasn't quite enough of it. It proved itself perhaps the most faithful depiction of the original trilogy in video game format I've ever seen, and in some ways the Walker Assault mode alone was worth the price of admission, at least once that price went down a little bit.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 has the right makings to be one of the biggest games of the holiday season. It has solid momentum coming from Star Wars Battlefront, as well as a marketing campaign that basically writes itself in the twirling lightsaber strokes of Darth Maul and Yoda. On top of that, it gets a massive infusion of attention from Star Wars: The Last Jedi in December, piggybacking off of one of the biggest hype machines in popular culture right now. The Battlefront series is by no means the only licensed video game out there, but the overall quality, timing and expansiveness of the franchise make it better-geared to taking advantage of movie marketing than any game I can think of.
For right now, it's time to dive in and see how the thing actually plays. Check back for more thoughts.
