DICE in a blog post announced the Star Wars: Battlefront 2 content update, Battle of Scarif, will launch tomorrow, April 29 and it will be the last content update for the game. The game will still be supported going forward, even if there is no new content.
"Servers, in-game challenges, recurring events such as Double XP [...] and game support will carry this broad and rich Star Wars gaming experience into the future," reads the blog post.
Battlefield V will also be getting one last content update in June.
"The team at DICE is working on the standalone Battlefield V update releasing this summer, and continuing their work on delivering Community Games. While the studio’s vision for Star Wars Battlefront II is now complete with this week’s The Battle on Scarif Update, the servers, in-game challenges, recurring events and game support will continue as the game lives on with players and the community. We’re looking forward to hearing players’ stories for both games, for years to come," said an EA spokesperson to IGN.
The spokesperson added that DICE is developing a new Battlefield game that will launch in 2021.
"Longer term, the studio is focused on the future of Battlefield that we’ll be bringing to players in 2021," said the EA spokesperson.
