Clone Wars Content Announced for Star Wars Battlefront II

Today, during the EA E3 2018 press conference it was announced that Battlefront II would be receiving content from Star Wars: The Clone Wars this year. The content coming from Star Wars: The Clone Wars to Battlefront II will include new heroes, villains and planets from the The Clone Wars conflict of Star Wars and will be coming to Battlefront II this year. 

No official release date for new content was announced, but the characters from the famous conflict that were confirmed to be coming to the first person shooter title were General Grievous, Count Dooku, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. The first planet from the era that was confirmed for the title was Geonosis, and it was stated that the planet would contain multiple levels including the largest level that the developer has ever built for Battlefront. 

The announcement of Obi-Wan Kenobi is one that is sure to please many fans of the franchise, as it will mark Obi-Wan Kenobi's first appearance in the Battlefront franchise, which sounds extremely odd considering that he is one of the leading characters of the franchise's universe. 

With this newly announced era of content announced for the first person shooter, there is plenty of characters, planets, lore, and other pieces from the extremely popular era of lore that Battlefront II could pull into its universe and allow players to enjoy. 

The announcement was met with many cheers from the audience, as The Clone Wars is a fan favorite of the franchise's fanbase, and they will no doubt be excited to see the confirmed characters and locations and the unannounced content coming to the world of Battlefront II throughout the coming months.
