Star Wars: Battlefront 2 unleashes Ewok terror subsequent week

Ewoks are scary, okay? Those lifeless eyes, these chattering tooth; they appear to be a person bitten by a radioactive Teddy Ruxpin below a full moon. EA Dice clearly agree, as the following new playmode for his or her initially wonky (but now recovering) group shooter Star Wars: Battlefront 2 incorporates a squad of terrified stormtroopers attempting to carry out only a few treasured seconds longer towards an ever-growing tide of murderous teddy bears.

The upcoming new mode is named Night on Endor, and shall be rolling out as a free replace on April 18th. In a relatively good twist on the traditional ‘zombie’ sport mode, a big group of Imperial stormtroopers should maintain out till they are often evacuated from Endor after that complete Death Star v2.0 factor went south. The different group begins out as a small guerrilla drive of Ewoks, however for each stormtrooper felled, one other endlessly respawning Ewok joins the combat.

Clearly, what we initially assumed had been Endor’s natives are literally the results of some horrible pressure of space-lycanthropy. Don’t allow them to chew you!
