The Star Wars Battlefront 2 Update 1.17 Patch Notes have arrived. A fan favorite villain has also made his triumphant return in this update. This patch is, surprisingly, smaller than expected as it is mainly a hotfix that was delayed for quite a bit. This means that more recent issues you’ve been having in the game will most likely not be patched for a while.
Get ready for some big fixes, though, with the Star Wars Battlefront 2 Update 1.17 Patch Notes. If you’re a fan of Ewoks, then you’ll be happy to know there are some fixes in store for a certain mode revolving around them. Let’s begin.
