New Night on Endor Update Incoming to Star Wars Battlefront II Starting on April 18, players can jump into a new, limited-time mode, unlock special Appearances via Crystals and/or Credits and more in the Star Wars Battlefront II Night on Endor update. Whether you  begin as an Ewok defending your homeland and stalking your Imperial enemy, or as a stormtrooper fighting to escape the ambush, players can fight through the night for control of Endor in the all-new Ewok Hunt mode. In Ewok Hunt, you start as an Ewok or in a group of stormtroopers. The ambush begins as Ewoks attack unsuspecting stormtroopers, using spears, Wisties, and other skills to take down their opponents. Each stormtrooper defeated spawns as another Ewok, multiplying until the Empire’s forces have been completely eliminated, and the Ewok celebration can begin. However, the stormtroopers’ superior training and firepower are more than a match for the Ewoks. Armed with a cadre of … [Read more...] about New Night on Endor Update Incoming to Star Wars Battlefront II

Reminder: Star Wars the Old Republic Is Having A Double Rewards Event Until May 11 For Star Wars the Old Republic players, this past weekend has been a pretty important date that holds significance. May 4th is always a huge celebration in the Star Wars world, especially within the huge range of games that already exists. To Celebrate May 4th which is national Star Wars day, SWTOR turned on a Double Rewards Event last week. Players in-game will earn double experience points, command XP and Starfighter Requisitions as well. Initially, the event was slated to end on the 7th, but SWTOR has seen fit to extend the event until the 11th. This will give players additional time to stock up on these rewards, in addition to ensuring that players who missed it will have a chance as well. These are interesting times for SWTOR. In an interview earlier in the year, Bioware confirmed that they are working on the next expansion, update 6.0. The expansion will see a return to classic narratives involving … [Read more...] about Reminder: Star Wars the Old Republic Is Having A Double Rewards Event Until May 11

5 As usual in the industry, speculation over a job posting has driven the rumor mill into full production. There’s a lot of chatter about the latest job listing from EA for work on a Star Wars “Open-World” Game. I recall there being another listing for a similar game around 2013, though I’m not sure anything ever came of that. The “open-world” component of the posting is most interesting. The fact that EA is making a Star Wars game isn’t news since they’re the only ones with the rights. What does “open-world” mean? I think that’s about as broad these days as saying something like “Multiplayer” or heck, even “star wars game”. MMORPG? Doubtful. Completely. Battle Royale or Survival or other type of game? Most likely. I’ve said and will maintain that no blunder — Battlefront 2 or otherwise — will be enough to dissuade people from hyping a Star Wars BR or Survival game. It’s … [Read more...] about EA’s Star Wars “Open-World” Game

Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a new story was told that captured the minds of millions, and to this day, continues to capture them. The movies started it, then books, then video games, then a duo of animated series, all have helped make it grand. Yet, for video games, there’s one key drawback, many of them are considered “non-canon”, and by “many”, we mean pretty much all of them. The one exception being the upcoming Battlefront 2, which has a story which is made to be canon. But, for some, including us here at MMOExaminer, we think that the people at Disney/Lucasfilm can take this a step further, what if they did a canon game…set within an MMORPG? You might be thinking, “Aren’t they doing that in Star Wars: The Old Republic?” Well…yes and no, they’re trying to do something meaningful with the game, but, whether it’s canon or not is up for debate. Not to mention, because this takes place in the “Old … [Read more...] about Star Wars Needs An MMORPG That’s Official Canon
