In case you haven’t been keeping up with Star Wars Battlefront 2, the game has seen a resurgence in popularity as of late thanks to fans on Reddit and TikTok, who have been encouraging people to get back into the action after putting the game down after support ended in 2020.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 was released for PS4, PC, and Xbox One in November 2017, and is the sequel to 2015’s reboot of the franchise. The original Star Wars Battlefront games were released during the PS2 era with Star Wars Battlefront (2004) and Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005), and while a third game was reportedly “pretty much done” by 2008 according to Steve Ellis of Free Radical Design. Sadly, Star Wars Battlefront 3 never saw the light of day and was cancelled after LucasArts couldn’t commit to “spend big” on marketing the title.

More recently, a Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection was released for PS5, PS4, PC, Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One in March 2024, featuring online multiplayer and Galactic Conquest mode.
