Star Wars: Battlefront 2 Now Has Multiplayer Support Again

Time to do things the high ground way.

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (the original, 2005 game, not the new one) has been without official multiplayer for about 3 years. When GameSpy closed its doors, that was pretty much it. Which sucked, because that was the major draw of the game.

But hark! Disney has heard your plaintive wail! They posted this Steam announcement:

Star Wars fans rejoice! Multiplayer support has returned for Battlefront II. Now you can draft your friends to the 501st legion and join up to 64 other players in a heated online battle for control of the galaxy.

Furthermore, the same is true of the GoG version. Even better, both versions now have cross-platform play!

There has been an awakening… have you felt it? STAR WARS Battlefront II (Classic, 2005), the critically acclaimed shooter of massively entertaining warfare, has received a critical update. Powered by GOG Galaxy, the multiplayer function of the game has now been restored AND with added Crossplay support between GOG Galaxy and Steam to boot.

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (2005) has long been held as something of a golden standard for multiplayer Star Wars games. And now, you don’t need to fiddle about with anything to enjoy it. So get out there and show them the power of the Force.
