Studio DICE and Electronic Arts have long forgotten about Star Wars: Battlefront II, which is best demonstrated by the fact that the last update with new content was released in 2020. However, players have no intention of abandoning this title, and a certain group has been developing the Kyber mod for a long time, the aim of which is to ensure a solid future for this shooter.

Our work on Update II…

Aspyr sure is running hot and cold at the moment. Right after last month’s well-regarded remasters of the first three Tomb Raider games, the company has put out the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, an uprezzed repackage of the original, beloved Battlefront games. It came out today and, well, oh dear.

With over a thousand Steam user reviews already in, the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection has spiralled down to a “Mostly Negative” overall rating, as fans complain of bugs, crashes, server issues, and a borderline-unplayable multiplayer mode.

“Probably one of the worst launches of all time,” writes Steam user Dinkleberg, “none of us can get in a game and there are only 3 servers.” Similar complaints appear endlessly up and down the game’s Steam review page, which is…
