Roadmap Highlights Star Wars Battlefront II Content For the Rest of 2018
At the beginning of June, during the EA Play event, EA announced a bunch of Clone Wars content for Star Wars Battlefront II which is set to include a new map set on Geonosis, as well as a few new heroes like Anakin Skywalker and General Grievous. At the time, no release dates for these were revealed. Now it seems they’re turning up the heat and sharing a whole lot more set to come to Battlefront II in the coming months in a brand new roadmap.

In fact, the tweet suggests that some new content is coming as early as next week with the latest update!
