EA Sports Star Wars Battlefront II - PlayStation 4

Star Wars Battlefront II is a 2017 action shooter video game based on the Star Wars franchise. It is the fourth main installment of the Star Wars: Battlefront series, and a sequel to the 2015 reboot of the series. It was developed by EA DICE, in collaboration with Criterion Games and Motive Studios, and published by Electronic Arts. The game was released worldwide on November 17, 2017 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, It features both single-player and multiplayer game modes, including a story-driven campaign, set in between the films Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, which depicts the climax of the Galactic Civil War and the Galactic Empire's downfall from the perspective of Imperial commander-turned-Rebel Alliance soldier Iden Versio.

Upon release, Battlefront II received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for the multiplayer, gameplay, balancing, visuals, and variety, but criticism for its single-player modes, campaign, microtransactions and progression system. The game was also subject to widespread criticism regarding the status of its loot boxes, which could give players substantial gameplay advantages if purchased with real money. A response from EA's community team on Reddit on the topic became the single most down-voted comment in the site's history[2] – and in response, EA decided to temporarily remove microtransactions from the game until a later date.

Since its release, the game received numerous content additions through free title updates in an attempt to increase its reputation after launch, which brought in a large number of new players. These updates ended on April 29, 2020, after Electronic Arts concluded that the game reached its desired number of players and was a big improvement over the initial release.[3] A Celebration Edition of the game, which includes all cosmetic options, was released on 5 December 2019.
