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. At present, the moderators are completing the long-awaited V2 version of this project. It looks impressive.

The first version of Kyber, released…

Something to look forward to: Many gamers of a certain age probably miss the days before matchmaking replaced server browsers and custom servers, which let players moderate communities and stay online after developers ended official support. A dedicated group of modders is bringing significant upgrades to a project that aims to resurrect old-school functionality in EA’s Star Wars Battlefront sequel.

Those who own EA’s modern version of Star Wars Battlefront II (as opposed to the recently re-released 2005 version) on PC can now sign up for an upcoming playtest for a mod package that adds custom dedicated servers and other features. The trial begins later this month and the developers plan to release the full package soon after depending on the results.

Kyber V2 includes a server…

Two weeks after the turbulent launch of the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, Aspyr Media has launched Patch 1 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Patch 1 already went live on PC via Steam last week on March 19 while having to wait for launch on consoles due to their separate certification process. Aspyr’s official support post has now been updated with the following message.

Update I is available now for STAR WARS: Battlefront Classic Collection on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series S | X, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.

The multiplayer experience on dedicated servers has had ample changes behind the scenes, and players should expect a much better experience across all consoles.

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.
