Original Post

Hey everyone,

We wanted to give you a quick update on where we are with regards to the next patch for Star Wars Battlefront II.

The patch is currently being worked on and will contain a variety of bug fixes, tweaks, and improvements. This patch will also make a change to the requirement for the Darth Maul Old Master Appearance.

The current plan here is to change the criteria required. Instead of requiring you to defeat 5,000 opponents as Darth Maul we will be changing it be 5,000 opponents as any Dark Side hero. A Light Side equivalent of this will also be put in place for the Farmboy Luke and Princess Leia appearances.

We are still working to lock down a release date, however, we can confirm it will not be next week. Unfortunately, as the team adjusts to working from home, this has caused a knock on in terms of release timing.

As always, we thank you all for your continued support. Stay safe, and may the Force be with you.

Will the kills we’ve already accumulated be counted towards the new goal?

We're currently looking into this, but can't confirm on this either way right now.
