The Battlefront 2 - Celebration Edition includes all previous updates and everything that can be unlocked via in-game Credits or premium Crystal currencies. That means this comprehensive package includes, according to EA’s latest Community Transmission blog post, “every Hero Appearance, Trooper Appearance, Emote, Voice Line and Victory Pose,” excepting a handful of pre-order exclusives. Since Star Wars Battlefront 2 has grown substantially since its initial release in November, 2017, that adds up to quite a bit of content, including more than 100 emotes and 90 victory poses.
Also included in the Battlefront 2 - Celebration Edition is new game content, coming in a December update, related to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The biggest addition coming to the game is a new map, set on a jungle planet from Star Wars: Episode IX. While EA’s announcement didn’t name the planet, it’s most likely the world of Ajan Kloss, which looks to be home to a Resistance base where Rey and Leia can be seen training in The Rise of Skywalker trailer.
The Rise of Skywalker update to Battlefront 2 also includes four new characters, split between the Resistance and the First Order. Joining the First Order are the red-armored Sith Troopers, with their advanced weaponry, and the jetpack-toting Jet Troopers, which have a grenade-launching blaster rifle in addition to air superiority. The new Resistance fighters include a Gunner and Spy unit, each of which are new alien species from the upcoming movie.
The update, included in the Celebration Edition, will also feature new Rise of Skywalker appearances for Rey, Finn and Kylo Ren.
