The Star Wars Battlefront Brand May Have to Meet its Maker

While the Star Wars: Battlefront brand may be extremely popular, these last couple of years may have shown that the franchise needs to take a break.

The second major update for Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection has been released. The updates include plenty of bug fixes, adding to the list of bugs that the first major update for Star Wars Battlefont Classic Collection dealt with. These fixes include an issue preventing players from joining servers on PlayStation, incorrect button prompts on Steam, a problem on the Nintendo Switch that caused loading screens to last longer than usual when selecting games, and enemy AI fixes for all platforms. Overall, the update further tackles quality of life issues and improves the gameplay experience.

Considering the massive popularity of online multiplayer games in this generation, plenty of gamers believe that Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection couldn’t have come at a better time. The Battlefront Classic Collection has a great chance to amass a growing number of players and the games are distinct in their own way, offering the Star Wars aesthetic and a gameplay style that offers variety from modern contemporaries like Fortnite and Helldivers 2. Many players are hoping that Aspyr fixes all of its issues before player interest dwindles.

Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection has several new inclusions that have fans excited, and the game comes at a great time for the Star Wars series, as this is not the only gaming option within the franchise. Star Wars Outlaws is approaching its August release and although it has had its own share of controversies regarding the inclusion of content, gamers are excited about the possibility to explore the universe further, this time through the lens of the criminal underworld. With a passionate fanbase and expansive lore, the franchise has plenty of potential to continue impressing gamers.
