EA news: Star Wars Battlefront 2 release update, FIFA 18 Ultimate Team Scream reveal

The Star Wars Battlefront 2 release date is fast approaching and it appears that everything is staying on target for it.

More news has been confirmed about some of the new aspects included in the game’s sequel, that of the single-player campaign.

The 2015 remake didn’t have one and was criticised accordingly for it.

EA have looked to rectify this by adding a new storyline that follows the Star Wars saga from the Empire’s perspective.

And now more has been revealed about the exact length of the campaign.

Game producer David Robillard has confirmed that it should last fans around 5-7 hours on PS4, Xbox One and PC.

“We thought that around 5-7, maybe 8 hours is probably a good amount of time…we wanted to stay very driven towards the Star Wars fantasy that the players are going to experience and not have it be drawn out,” Robillard told Press Start.

While it doesn’t sound like much, it does match up to other shooter titles that focus heavily on the multiplayer aspect.

Similar to games like Overwatch, players can earn loot boxes (Crates) by levelling up and completing objectives.

The major difference, however, is that while Overwatch’s loot boxes contain cosmetic items like new skins and emotes, Battlefront 2’s Crates contain Star Cards that can boost your power.

Fans can also buy these Crates with real money, which means that anybody willing to spend extra cash could feasibly have an advantage on the battlefield.

Responding to the criticism in a recent blog post, DICE said that it is working on a way to balance the system out.

The new FIFA 18 Scream Cards update has arrived for Ultimate Team fans on PS4 and Xbox One.

Returning from last year, the FIFA 18 Scream Cards are now available to collect on PS4, XBox One and Nintendo Switch.

EA Sports has confrimed that from Oct 20th to Oct 29th, 23 Ultimate Scream players will be available in packs with upgraded ratings as unique items.

“The Ultimate Scream items “come alive” at the scariest times during the season,” a FIFA announcement explains. 

“The terrifying boost makes its first appearance during Halloween (Oct 29 – Nov 1), but then returns again and again throughout the season. 

“But be warned, these boosts are always temporary.”

It should be noted that  all 23 Ultimate Scream players are in packs with initial upgraded ratings from Oct 20th 10am PDT – Oct 29th 10am PDT.
