News - Star Wars: Battlefront II : Patch 1.2 hat ein Release-Date + Patch-Log

Trotz harscher Kritik am Fortschrittssystem und den Lootboxen hat sich Star Wars: Battlefront II schlussendlich doch ansehnlich verkauft. Jetzt steht das nächste Update auf dem Plan.

Schon länger warten Spieler von Star Wars: Battlefront II auf die Veröffentlichung des Updates auf Version 1.2. Nun gibt es nähere Informationen dazu, denn in den offiziellen Foren zum Spiel wurde jetzt das Release-Datum für den Patch bekannt gegeben.

Ab dem heutigen 19. Februar steht das Update demnach zum Download bereit. Bei uns wird es je nach Plattform zwischen 09.00 und 11.00 Uhr soweit sein, wie DICE und Electronic Arts bestätigten.

Wie wir unlängst berichteten, bringt das Update auch einen neuen, zeitlich begrenzten Spielmodus namens "Jetpack Cargo" mit sich. Darüber hinaus dürft ihr weitere Anpassungen in Sachen Balancing sowie auch Bugfixes und Klassenoptimierungen erwarten. Konkrete Patch-Notes wurden aber noch nicht veröffentlicht; diese sollen zum Release des Updates folgen.

Obwohl Version 1.2 sowohl ein Client- als auch Server-Patch ist, soll es laut offiziellen Angaben keine Server-Downtime geben.
