EA has clarified in a blog post that the most powerful items in Star Wars Battlefront II’s loot crate based “star card” system will only be earned through in game achievements. Still, I’ve got a bad feeling about this...

Star Wars Battlefront 2 will get a multiplayer beta in October, EA said today. It’ll be on all three platforms starting October 4 for pre-orderers (and October 6 for everyone else).

Speaking at Nasdaq’s 35th Investor Program, Electronic Arts CFO Blake Jorgensen said the company would not have a new Battlefield game for “a couple of years,” opting to focus on a new Star Wars Battlefront. The Battlefield series has released titles with wider gaps in recent years.

The expansions are coming! The Division’s intriguing Survival expansion is hitting PC and Xbox One on Nov. 22, later on PS4. The final expansion for Star Wars Battlefront will be out on Dec 6 for season pass holders, later for everyone else. It’s set on maps based on the upcoming Star Wars Rogue One movie.

EA’s $30/year EA Access program on Xbox One and PC will get three major additions to its vault of accessible games by year’s end. Last year’s Star Wars Battlefront and this spring’s Mirror’s Edge Catalyst and UFC 2 will be added later this year, according to an EA press release.
