Star Wars: Battlefront 2 will not feature a “Season Pass”, its developers recently confirmed.
“We don’t have a season pass,”said DICE’s Bernd Diemer, speaking with Mashable. “We decided on that, and it’s one of those difficult decisions because it has so many implications all around,” he continued. “When we looked at the way Battlefront had evolved over its lifetime, with the DLC and everything, we decided, ‘You know what? For this type of game, season passes are not the best thing. We need to [take it apart] and come up with something better.”
Diemer admitted another model is planned.
“I cannot talk about the specifics of this, but we have something different in mind that will allow you to play longer, be [more] invested in the game without having a fragmented community,” he said.
Electronic Arts was quick to jump on damage control, issuing a statement to the website.
“While we’re not ready to confirm any live service plans just yet, what we can say is this we heard the feedback from our Battlefront community loud and clear,” it began. “We know they want more depth, more progression, and more content. So we’re focused on delivering that in every dimension of Star Wars Battlefront II. We’ll have more to share about our plans soon.”
Star Wars: Battlefront 2 heads to Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4 on 17 November 2017.
