Star Wars Battlefront 2 Has Delayed Its BB-8 Update

Star Wars Battlefront II has delayed a promised update that will let you play as BB-8 (and his First Order doppelganger, BB-9E). The update, which was meant to be available on January 30 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, has been delayed for some last-minute bug fixes.

The update's delay was announced on the Battlefront forums, with a post stating that a "critical issue" was found during testing. The update will now release "early next week," although an exact date was not set. "We already have a new build going through its regular pre-release checks and things are looking positive," the post reads.

"Unfortunately, this is sometimes the reality in game development where testing continues right up until an update is deployed onto our live servers," it continues. "Although disappointing, we feel that it is much better that we found the issue now, rather than have it slip through and make it to our live servers." A definite release date will be confirmed soon.

The post also confirms that BB-8 will be able to do his iconic "thumbs up" pose from The Force Awakens, which is very good and cute news.

The update will also add two new Capital Ships to Capital Supremacy: the MC85 Star Cruiser and Resurgent-class Star Destroyer. Ajan Koss is coming to Hero Showdown, and there will be various "fixes and improvements" too. These are the examples given:

  • Darth Vader will now be able to block while choking
  • Auto Players will be able to carry out melee attacks
  • Droidekas receive an increase to their shield health
  • VO announcers will now mention the era-appropriate heroes that spawn
  • Finn and Kylo Ren both have new emotes, which you can unlock via new milestones

An update for the game back in December 2019 added content from The Rise of Skywalker, including a new map and costumes. The game original released in 2017 to less-than-stellar reviews, but has improved a lot since then, and has ultimately been very successful.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been

After Pitching Dragon Age Musical DLC, David Gaider Is Finally Getting To Make His Musical Game

Dragon Age lead franchise writer David Gaider is making a new and intriguing-looking musical adventure game Chorus . As it turns out, the veteran game developer--who left BioWare years ago--has been thinking about making a musical game for a long time. In an appearance at the GameSpot Theatre today at PAX Aus about his new game and studio, Gaider said he in fact pitched musical DLC for Dragon Age during his time at BioWare. The musical Dragon Age DLC could have taken place inside the metaphysical Dragon Age realm called The Fade, he said. It was a semi-serious, semi-joking pitch, Gaider said, but whatever the case, it never happened. Gaider is now getting to realize that dream. His new game, Chorus, is a musical adventure game where they big story beats play out through song. Gaider is working on Chorus with Summerfall managing director Liam Esler (former Obsidian, Beamdog developer), while prolific voice actress Laura Bailey (Uncharted, Gears of War) is voicing the main character.
