Hero Showdown: similar to the much-loved Heroes vs Villains Game Mode, but with a brand-new rule set. Players will begin the match by picking their Heroes. Should you be defeated you must put all your hope into your teammate and wait until the round is over. If your team is successful and wins the round, you are unable to use the Heroes that you previously used. However, if your team loses the round you're free to pick any available Hero, including the ones you've just used. It's a best out of five situation, so the first to win three rounds will claim victory.
Starfighter Custom Arcade: Starfighter Custom Arcade is where you’ll be able to become acquainted with all the Starfighters in the game. Take on AI and learn skills that will serve you well when you venture into Starfighter Assault and take on some of the best pilots in the galaxy.
Jabba’s Palace: located in the Dune Sea on Tatooine, this sandblasted metal and stone structure strikes fear into anyone that finds themselves on the wrong side of Jabba the Hutt. Jabba’s Palace will be arriving in Star Wars Battlefront 2 and will be available in both Heroes vs Villains, Blast, and Arcade.
Appearances: fans of Lando will be pleased to hear he’s going to be receiving an Epic, based around his Appearance within Jabba’s Palace.
Legendary Appearances in Star Wars Battlefront 2: the Legendary Appearance will go to Leia and will come in the form of her iconic Boushh outfit from Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi.
Menu updates: with the Han Solo Season it will be quicker to get into your favourite game mode. The multiplayer menu is now broken up into three main categories; Assault, Heroes and Villains, and Operations. Hero and Villains is where you'll find the core Heroes vs Villains game modes.
