This month's Star Wars Battlefront II patch is going to bring back content that has been pulled due to issues as well as several new fixes.
The Star Wars Battlefront II August patch will bring back Emperor Palpatine as well as Ewok Hunt, which have been previously removed from the game. Additionally, several other fixes will be implemented.
Hi everyone,
Emperor Palpatine and Ewok Hunt are back! The issues that required us to temporarily disable both have been fixed in this patch. In addition to that we’ve deployed balancing updates to lightsaber heroes in Galactic Assault that should make them viable again. Give them a try and let us know what you think. We also addressed the stuttering upon hard-lock issue in Hero tw Starfighters.
Finally we want to thank you for your patience while we were working on addressing these key problems! Your feedback is valuable to us so please keep sending it along as we continue to improve the game.
