In the early 2000s, the Star Wars: Battlefront series captivated gamers with its combination of ground and air/space battles and large-scale multiplayer. Some years after that, EA confusingly released two new games with the same titles. Adding words to subtitles is hard! Thankfully, the newly released Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection from Aspyr Media has its own distinctive words to let us know that it's a collection of the first two Battlefronts in one convenient package. The collection is out now on consoles and Steam.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 may almost be almost be three years old, but the game is still going strong. Yesterday to celebrate the unofficial Star Wars holiday (or possibly official?) May the 4th, EA had the game on sale for just $6. And while it's back up to a price of $16 dollars today, it's still a steal with a ton of content to play and enjoy.

A couple weeks ago, EA and DICE dropped a "look ahead" post on the community forums for Star Wars: Battlefront II (2017) that laid out what's in store for the multiplayer shooter for the next few months of the year. The one feature that caught our attention was this: a new 4 player online PvE co-op mode. Rejoice, co-op fans!

Star Wars Battlefront II has had its share of ups and downs since it launched last year, but the steady stream of patches/updates have brought the game to a better point than where it was. If you're interested in checking the game out for yourself, and you have an EA Access subscription, then you can do so for free.

In more great news from Microsoft, 16 original Xbox games are being added to the Xbox One’s Backwards Compatibility list. All of the titles either need to be purchased and downloaded through the Xbox Marketplace or played with a physical copy in the Xbox One. The first batch of 8 games is set to arrive on April 17th and the later 8 on April 26th. While a number of the games feature some sort of multiplayer, it’s the April 26th release of Star Wars Battlefront (2004) and Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005) that feature the Co-Op we’re most excited about.

Months after its release and the whole loot crate fiasco, EA has announced their plans for revising the progression and loot system for Star Wars: Battlefront II. The good news is that they're removing any kind of gameplay affecting items (such as the Star Cards that impact your class abilities and gear) from the loot crates and making them cosmetic items only. The bad news? None of these changes apply to the co-op Arcade mode.

Star Wars is on everyone’s mind right now. With the release of Episode VIII: The Last Jedi and the Disney train going full speed ahead on the franchise, it’s difficult to not find someone talking about Star Wars. Two years after EA rebooted the Star Wars Battlefront franchise we’re now seeing a sequel hoping to bring the video gam...

We're getting ever closer to the holiday season and that means the bigger game releases are starting to wind down for the year. This week, we've got LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 on all the modern platforms, Rocket League on the Switch, and Star Wars: Battlefront II on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, though it's worth noting that only the console versions of the game support co-op per our site's definition.

The 2015 version of Star Wars Battlefront had a dedicated co-op mode (Skirmish) where you could tackle some specific co-op challenges with a buddy. The 2017 version of Star Wars Battlefront II will be getting something a little different in the form of an "Arcade" mode.
