Coming March 14 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation5, PlayStation4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam for $35.01, Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection features restored online play for up to 64 players, expansions to Hero Assault mode, and all previously released bonus content for both titles.
Includes all of the original xbox-exclusive bonus maps/characters, the previously PC exclusive
XL mode, hero assault now playable on every ground map, offline two player splitscreen in addition to the 64 player online multiplayer, and achievements/trophies. Which all sounds properly definitive!
The only disappointment is that the collection is missing two of the best classic Battlefront games, Renegade Squadron and Elite Squadron, which were PSP exclusive. Elite Squadron introduced simultaneous ground/space battles and is the closest thing to "Battlefront 3" we ever got.
I'm still very excited and can't wait to jump into these games online! The rebooted Battlefront and Battlefront II were decent fun and both looked and sounded great, but didn't match up to the classic games in content and mechanics, especially when it comes to vehicles. The original Battlefront II remains one of my favourite games of all time.
