Star Wars Battlefront II releases on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC on 17 November - just under a month before the launch of the latest movie in the series, The Last Jedi. We could see many critics update their verdicts over the coming days as the game’s focus on micro-transactions has substantially affected reviewers’ opinions. The company says it will spend time “listening” to fan feedback and “adjusting” the in-game economy, although micro-transactions will become available “at a later date.” “Players pick classes that not only reflect their play style,” it adds, “but complement their teammates, making working together more important than ever.”īefore its release, reviewers criticised the game’s reliance on micro-transactions, a system that allows gamers to pay real-world money to gain an advantage in multiplayer.īut the game’s publisher EA has since announced that it has shut down the system that allows players to spend their own money. The paper adds: “There are more maps to play on and more varied objectives within them, even though they essentially boil down to attack and defence.”Īlong with added content, Battlefront II’s developer Dice has worked on some of the top-level aspects of the game to make it “smarter and more strategic”, says Digital Trends.
