Star Wars Battlefront II

Age of Rebellion (Original Trilogy)

As January comes to a close, our attention turns to February and, with it, the confirmation that we will return to the Original Trilogy and the Age of Rebellion. This includes bringing specific planets to both Co-Op and, later on, Supremacy. We know that many of you have been requesting this and we’re incredibly excited at the prospect of playing as Luke, Leia, Darth Vader and more, through both Co-Op and Supremacy.

With the arrival of the Original Trilogy we will make a name change: Capital Supremacy will simply be known as Supremacy. We’re renaming this game mode to encompass all eras as the upcoming Original Trilogy variant will be fought exclusively on the ground.

During development, we looked at the experiences that both Death Star II and Scarif would offer, deciding that the Age of Rebellion would be focused on ground-based combat, which is a better fit for some of the more iconic locations we have available. It’s hard to imagine leaving the Death Star to go to a capital ship, let alone having to deal with the shield that surrounds Scarif. But, don’t worry – it’s still the same great Supremacy experience, just focused on ground-based gameplay.

And, yes – you heard that right – we’re bringing Scarif back from 2015’s Star Wars Battlefront! This is one of the most highly requested planets and we’re incredibly excited to see it return to the battlefront.

More details on the specifics of our Age of Rebellion content will come in February, but before that arrives, we’re just days away from the next update.

“The pirate is hiding something”... Hondo Ohnaka! Ben’s favorite pirate! Check his portrait! It HAS to be Hondo!

Edit: I think there’s a separate treasure room in the castle? Check that too!

Double Edit: SHOOT HIS PORTRAIT, YOU’LL GET A CHIME AND IT’S THERE

Triple Edit: Okay, so whatever drops, you pick it up, but it doesn’t unlock the skin. There has to be something more. The closet next to the portrait has chains around it, it HAS to be related..

Fourth Edit: So the process so far is shoot the Hondo portrait, get the medal, hear the first chime. run to the Slave 1, hear the second chime. Find the buttons at the very front of the Slave 1, use first last middle, get the third chime. Anything else is still being found out

Fifth edit: After having done the process above, you’ll notice that the tent covering the Slave 1 has 3 red buttons. If you’ve done the first three steps correctly, the first and last will flash red, then blue. Red and blue, the light and dark? The middle one is the only one that stays red... It HAS to mean something.

Sixth edit: Okay, so we know that the closet in the same room as Hondo’s portrait is hiding something, we just need to find a way to remove those chains. I’ve tried swapping to Rey immediately as I did all steps, ran to the room, and nothing. I tried running down to where Anakin’s saber is, and nothing. I’m really really stuck on what to do next...

Seventh Edit: I’m still completely stuck, but I looked at Ben’s twitter and he sent a Palpatine GIF as a response to BattlefrontUpdates saying he’s stuck in the same spot as we are. Palpatine... “The two become the one true emperor”. Two buttons, one flashing more blue than red, one flashing more red than blue, one completely red. Is this all connected...?

Eight Edit: WE MADE A BREAKTHROUGH! After the flashing lights, run to the top of the castle, go on the right side and try to fall on the 501st Flag (black flag with stormtrooper on it). It’ll activate the basement door! You can run down to it and you’ll find a special surprise that might bring a tear to your eye. Still no Rey skin though... Something must be missing!

Ninth Edit: We did it, lads. The skin is unlocked online only, no single player. Try it on Co-Op. Others have been able to unlock it too, using the same method in Co-Op. It’s fitting that I end it with a 9th edit... Thank you to everyone who helped solved this mystery. May the force be with you, always.
