Originally exclusive to the prequel trilogy era, Supremacy was later expanded to include all three Star Wars trilogies. Supremacy is best compared to Battlefield's Conquest mode a large scale non-linear multiplayer mode where teams of 20 players (plus an additional 12 AI-combatants) fight over control of five locations around the map. The Clone Wars era also included the release of Capital Supremacy, a now staple game mode in Star Wars: Battlefront 2 that has since been renamed to simply, Supremacy. While the heroes were the new big thing to be excited about, DICE updated the spawning system to let players spawn in on squad members, added a variety of appearances for Clone Trooper including the 501st Legion and 212th Attack Rebellion, and added Geonosis as a new location in Galactic Assault. First off, in October 2018, General Grievous was added as a new playable hero, followed by Obi-Wan Kenobi in November, Count Dooku in January 2019, and Anakin Skywalker in February 2019. Throughout the end of 2018 and early 2019, DICE released a handful of new updates for Star Wars: Battlefront 2 that focused on The Clone Wars.

After a disastrous launch, EA and DICE spent the past two years supporting the game with regular free updates and have managed to turn Star Wars: Battlefront 2 into a pretty great game, one that's worth checking back in on for lapsed players. Star Wars: Battlefront 2 still managed to sell millions, and became another commercial success for EA, but the player base quickly moved on to the next big thing.Įarlier today, Star Wars: Battlefront 2 went live to all PS Plus subscribers as a free downloadable game for the month of June, offering players another chance to try out the game. The game's marketing wildly missold the story and quality of the single-player campaign, multiplayer was incredibly unbalanced and required dozens of hours of grinding to unlock heroes, and the game was riddled with loot boxes, so much so that it became a legal issue. It's no secret that the launch of Star Wars: Battlefront 2 was a complete disaster for EA, DICE, and fans of the franchise, with lasting effects on the video game industry as a whole.
