Hey everyone,
We wanted to give you a few updates on Star Wars Battlefront II. As you may have seen, last week DICE began its work from home operations in order to best protect the team’s health and well-being.
The Star Wars team have now moved away from our office setup and into our homes.
Work continues on the game but the adjustment from the office environment into our homes has caused some knock-on effects to our workflows. We’re currently streamlining these processes and adapting as we move forward.
As a result of this we have decided to move the release of the Battle on Scarif Update to Mid-April. This is our new target time-frame but as the situation continues to develop, we will keep you posted on any further timing adjustments.
The next update will see Supremacy arrive for the Age of Rebellion. Headlined by the return to the tropical planet of Scarif, the mode will also feature a number of Age of Rebellion locations. We have some updates for Instant Action, including the...

What fun!
Looking to make this change in the next update. Thanks for the feedback.
Respect to my Heavy brothers.
They could supply an entire hospital for a week? DICE employees must have some clean hands.
We're a relatively big studio. Factor in we have multiple bathrooms and showers that all have cleaning products in them. Then we have the occasional cleaning station in hallways across all floors.
Soon adds up. You'd be surprised at how much work office teams put in to keeping a studio operational. Some of the unsung heroes of game development, without them we wouldn't be able to do what we do.
Whew at least it’s short.
Any hints about content other than Scarif that we can expect in this month’s update to hold us over til the CT?
Yes

Header, as you know I'm leaving so feels rather fitting.
I'm still around, will never leave or give up the fight.
This was fixed early this morning.
Making changes.
If anything changes, we'll let you know.
We caught this minutes after we closed development of this week's patch, so couldn't quite get it in. It is fixed for the update at the end of the month.
Thank you! Any plans for adjusting the ARC Trooper to its former glory? Or at least tweak it a little bit? :)
We're looking at some tweaks to the ARC Trooper.
Hello there,
We are planning to release a small patch this week, which will include fixes for a number of issues as well as a few requested tweaks.
Feedback around our Auto Player AI system has been met with a lot of positivity, but one of the biggest bits of feedback that we’ve received revolves around how the AI look, In this patch we will be implementing a change that will ensure all troopers and heroes are dressed in any planet-specific appearances across the Age of Rebellion planets. Alongside this, we are adding randomization of head options for Officers within Co-Op.
Rounding out the AI tweaks is the ability for Ewok Hunters Auto Players to now perform the spear melee attack.
There are a number of fixes arriving into this update, which include the visual issue where inaccurately high numbers were shown under the player damaged UI element. We know you are strong with the Force, but you are not 750,000 pieces of damage strong.
In the Age of Rebellion Update we introduced a c...
Read moreThank you so much for replying, your reassurance is invaluable! I was worried this would be the last time for a long while. My copy is actually still coming in the mail and I have a brand new Xbox to situate as well; so I’d rather do it myself if you know what I mean. But I’ll certainly take advantage of this event the next time you guys do it, I absolutely love those skins! Thank you for all your hard work! :D
We'll bring them back, likely as milestone rewards in the future so everyone can get a chance to unlock them.
Rodriguez confirmed.
The plan is for the "Play Any" button to do this in the future.
