Battlefront II's excellent post-launch support is largely finished, so it's unrealistic to expect that EA and DICE would start releasing major pieces of content again. Getting people back in the door is only useful if DICE can keep them there.
Now, DICE needs to maintain that momentum by adding to the game. Upon being released as a freebie on the Epic Games Store, player counts spiked, forcing EA and DICE to reinforce the servers so everyone could play.Ĭonsidering that Battlefront II's player base had atrophied due to a lack of new content, this resurgence of interest came at the perfect time. While many are paying attention to Ubisoft's open-world Star Wars title and speculating about other Lucasfilm Games partnerships, many have jumped back into Battlefront II.
In the face of EA losing its grasp on the Star Wars license, Battlefront II started making headlines again.
