Initially released in 2017, Star Wars Battlefront 2 had a chaotic launch, to say the least. Critics praised its graphics and its atmosphere faithful to the universe of the saga, but the gaming community reacted strongly to the invasive presence of microtransactions and loot boxes. Today, the title is returning to the forefront thanks to a solid fan base and a gradual overhaul of its model.
A long-criticized game that has bounced back
Upon its release, the game had an average score of 68 on Metacriticbased on 62 reviews. Despite the studio’s efforts to correct the situation, Battlefront 2 had the reputation of a game weighed down by its aggressive monetization. However, against all odds, he was able to regain public favor. In 2025, the stock reached a record of more than 35,000 simultaneous playersproof of an unexpected second wind.
In addition to the spectacular multiplayer modes, Battlefront 2 also offers a unique single-player campaign, located between Episode VI and VII of the saga. The players embody Iden Versioan elite soldier of the Empire, in an original story spanning three decades.
Total immersion in the Star Wars universe
Star Wars Battlefront 2 relies on visual and audio immersion to seduce. The universe, taken directly from the films, is modeled with cinematic precision.

Dash through the jungle of a hidden rebel base on Yavin 4 with your comrades, using the firepower of your AT-STs. Line up your squadron of X-wings to take on a gigantic First Order Star Destroyer in space. Or Take on the role of a new STAR WARS hero – Iden, an elite Imperial Special Forces soldier – and discover a moving and gripping single-player story spanning thirty years.”
