The original Star Wars: Battlefront games are making a return thanks to a shiny new remaster that brings co-op and 64-player online battles to current systems!
Among the most unexpected reveals during this morning’s Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, was the announcement of Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection. While PC gamers have been able to still enjoy the original games in various forms, console players haven’t been so fortunate.
That’s all about to change in just a few weeks as the Classic Collection not only gives each game a visual upgrade to look sharper on current systems, but also brings back online multiplayer. So you’ll be able to enjoy the classic action with up to 64 other players online! That’s pretty massive, and it’s awesome to see these games still getting the love they deserve 20 years since their releases:
Fight across the STAR WARS galaxy in this collection of large-scale combat classics! Featuring the 2004 STAR WARS Battlefront and its 2005 sequel STAR WARS Battlefront II, each game features solo campaigns, local multiplayer matches and massive online battles of up to 64 players. Pilot legendary starships and defy the odds as familiar characters like Luke Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader. This collection also includes additional playable characters such as Kit Fisto and Asajj Ventress and bonus maps like Jabba’s Palace, Bespin: Cloud City and Yavin 4: Arena.
Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection launches for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4|5, and Xbox consoles on March 14, 2024. Pre-orders are live now and hopefully it’ll get some physical releases to go alongside it.
