L'aggiornamento dedicato a Star Wars: Gli Ultimi Jedi sbarca in Star Wars Battlefront II

Il 13 dicembre è per tantissimi appassionati la giornata di Star Wars Episodio VIII: Gli Ultimi Jedi (avete letto la nostra recensione del film), nuovo capitolo della saga cinematografica che proprio oggi arriva nelle sale italiane.

Vista l'importanza di un'uscita del genere il mondo videoludico non poteva di certo rimanere impassibile e Star Wars Battlefront II accoglie, infatti, un aggiornamento gratuito dedicato proprio al film diretto da Rian Johnson. L'aggiornamento non va assolutamente ignorato dato che introduce nuovi eroi (Finn e Capitan Phasma), nuove mappe (Crait e D'Qar), nuove navicelle per gli eroi (Tallie Lintra e un miglioramento per Poe Dameron) e nuovi capitoli della storia.

Questi capitoli sono stati il fulcro di un tweet dello sceneggiatore Mitch Dyer, un tweet che ha confermato che queste novità non introdurranno alcuno spoiler per il film:

• Se volete arrivare al film senza sapere assolutamente nulla giocate al DLC dopo aver visto il film
• Se avete visto i trailer del film avete via libera e potete godervi la nuova storia di Iden
• La storia di Gli Ultimi Jedi non viene spoilerata in alcun modo dall'aggiornamento
