A Celebration Edition of the game, which includes all in-game cosmetic options, was released on December 5, 2019. These updates ended on April 29, 2020, after Electronic Arts concluded that the game had reached its desired number of players and had substantially improved since the initial release. Since its release, the game received numerous content additions through free title updates in an attempt to repair its reputation after launch, which brought in a large number of new players. In response, EA decided to remove microtransactions from the game. A response from EA’s community team on Reddit on the topic became the single most down-voted comment in the site’s history, amassing over 600,000 downvotes. 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.

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. Most of the story takes place during the final year of the Galactic Civil War, before the Empire’s definitive defeat at the Battle of Jakku. The single-player campaign of the game is set between the films Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, and follows an original character, Iden Versio, the commander of an Imperial special ops strike force dubbed Inferno Squad, who defects to the New Republic after becoming disillusioned with the Galactic Empire’s tactics. The game features both single-player and multiplayer modes, and overall includes more content than its predecessor.

The game was released worldwide on November 17, 2017, for the PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One. It was developed by DICE, in collaboration with Criterion Games and Motive Studios, and published by Electronic Arts. It is the fourth main installment of the Star Wars: Battlefront series, and a sequel to the 2015 reboot of the series. Star Wars Battlefront II is an action shooter video game based on the Star Wars franchise.
