Next month the developer is adding stuff from the original trilogy to both the Coop and Supremacy modes. With all of the changes the developer has made over the last two years, players have been giving the game a second chance, and this time they're sticking around. Developer Dice was able to remove its initial (and controversial) loot box mechanics while also adding a ton of free characters, maps and game modes, and it continues to regularly balance the game.
The Rise of Skywalker update and this week's addition of BB-8 as a playable character highlight just how far the Star Wars-themed multiplayer shooter has come since its rocky launch. Star Wars: Battlefront 2 has seen a massive increase in player activity and interest in the last year.
