After last week’s fairly light week, this week brings us quite a bit to talk about! Let’s jump right in, starting with the copious amounts of video game news.
Battlefront II is getting more content, starting with a continuation of Han Solo Season, bringing you more Solo content this Tuesday, June 12. This includes new locations (KESSEL!), new appearances, and more. In July, Battlefront II will also see the addition of a new Starfighter Mode, which will focus on piloting (and destroying) Hero ships, and EA promises another, larger-scale mode later this year. Finally (as far as this week’s Battlefront news, that is), new Clone Wars content is coming to your consoles this fall, including Heroes Anakin, Obi-Wan, Dooku, and Grievous and also Geonosis. I would make a Clone Wars pun here if I could think of anything other than droids saying “roger, roger.”
One more piece of videogame news: EA has announced an action RPG coming from Respawn Entertainment during the 2019 holidays. A single-player RPG! I’m excited! Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will be set after Revenge of the Sith and will follow a Padawan that survived the purge. No word yet on whether the Padawan will be customizable.
In less video game-related news that is still kind of video game-related, the virtual reality company The Void is opening nine new locations across the US. You might know them as the folks behind Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire, but I sure don’t because I haven’t been to a Disney Park since last Celebration. No word yet on when the new experience centers will be opening or what experiences will be involved.
In Star Wars Celebration news, while some Celebration Chicago tickets are still available, both the 5-day tickets and the Saturday tickets are sold out. If you are hoping to attend, it is highly recommended you not delay your ticket purchases.
One last, not-Star Wars thing before I leave you to enjoy your week: ANIMATED MILES MORALES SPIDER-MAN MOVIE IN THEATERS THIS DECEMBER:
