With the Rise of Skywalker update now live, Star Wars Battlefront 2 players are diving into the new map and using the various reinforcements for both sides of the sequel faction. However, this isn’t all of The Rise of Skywalker content scheduled to release. In a blog post, developer DICE explains that two new heroes along with more Capital Supremacy maps are on the way. This will mark the first time that an era other than The Clone Wars obtains this mode.
Currently, we only know that BB-8, B-9E, and the Capital Supremacy update will be coming in January. There has been nor formal release date or even mention of it on Twitter by DICE, so we suspect this won’t launch until the end of the month. Once a full release date is announced we will update this post. Looking back at the previous content, most it went live near the very end or beginning of that month.
Unless DICE releases the new update tomorrow, we expect the new Battlefront 2 DLC to go live at the end of January. Unfortunately, we don’t know what BB-8 does outside of his general role on the battlefield. Described as a support unit, this fast-moving hero will most likely provide buffs and gadgets to aid your teammates. Whether this is good enough to replace heroes like Darth Maul, Anakin, or Kylo Ren is still unknown.
