EA Announces Han Solo Season For ‘Battlefront 2’ with Trailer

The Star Wars franchise hasn’t been doing well with fans of late. Ever since the Disney takeover, fans haven’t been as accepting of the anything coming from the franchise including the new trilogy, “solo” films, video games and even with actors portraying characters in some of these new films. The most serious backlash started because some keyboard warriors aka trolls, took to social media accounts of actress Kelly Marie Tran who played Rose in the film, and they bombarded her with insults which ultimately lead to Tran deleting her social media accounts. The lesser serious issues of recent is that Solo: A Star Wars Story could possibly lose up to $50 million dollars due to its lackluster box office earnings. Even then, Star Wars is a cash cow for Disney and Disney wants to milk the franchise for all its money. So on that note, EA Sports have announced a new Han Solo season for “Battlefront 2″.

EA have released a new trailer for the upcoming season where fans can play missions from the new film, customize their characters with new skins and more. Check out the trailer below.

He’s a gambler, a driver, a flyer – and an unexpected hero in the making. It’s time for young Han Solo to enter Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II: The Han Solo Season,* with content inspired by Solo™: A Star Wars Story™.

Previously this season, we took players back to Jabba’s Palace on Tatooine, introduced new ways to play the game, and explored the iconic friendships and rivalries of Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon crew. But there’s a whole lot more to it.

Here’s what’s coming your way this month, starting June 12.

Welcome to the Coaxium Mines of Kessel

Completing the infamous Kessel Run in 12 parsecs is no small feat for a smuggler, and now you’ll get to visit the notorious planet yourself. It’s not for the faint-hearted though – conditions are harsh, and the Galactic Empire is heavily invested in the local supply of the highly sought after coaxium.

Bring your blaster and delve into the mines in a variety of game modes – a hectic round of Blast, the tactical Hero Showdown, Heroes vs Villains, or this season’s fresh Extraction mode – as this location debuts in Star Wars Battlefront II.

Deliver the Goods in Extraction

 

Hold on, we’re receiving some intel on another high-risk mission in the Outer Rim. In Extraction, an infiltration squad must retrieve and escape with a critical payload while fending off enemy forces. Players will join as either attackers or defenders in this asymmetrical and intense mode.

So halt the goods being delivered to the Millennium Falcon in the winding mines of Kessel – or push your way through Jabba’s Palace before time runs out – when Extraction arrives on June 12. 

Pilot Lando’s Millennium Falcon

 

For the first time in Star Wars Battlefront II, you can pilot Lando’s Millennium Falcon** prior to when Han Solo won it in a game of sabacc. Engage the trusty droid companion L3-37 as your co-pilot, make roaring TIE fighters drop like flies, and activate the coaxium injection boost to get away before anyone knows what’s happening. Make sure to give it a spin – it packs quite the punch!

Arrive to Battle in Style

By hanging around with law-benders and thieves, you might be expected to look a bit rough around the edges. Live up to it with two new Appearances*** for Han Solo, and while you’re at it, gear up for some fast-paced action with Chewbacca’s stylish goggles – all carefully modelled after their looks in Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Speaking of style, Lando Calrissian dresses as the sophisticated and smooth-talking schemer that he is with two fashionable variations.

All DLC will be free, which is a great thing for Battlefront players.

Stay tuned for more “Battlefront 2” announcements!
