Star Wars Battlefront 2 welcomes Ben Kenobi and lots of clones next week

Hey, remember Star Wars Battlefront II? It came out a year ago, around the time of that ruckus about loot boxes. Well, no matter: next week, Battlefront II will get a free chunk of free DLC in the form of a brand new Geonosis map and prequel-era Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Battle of Geonosis expansion adds the new Clone Wars-themed Galactic Assault map to Battlefront II’s rotation. It’s kind of the New Mexico to Tatooine’s Arizona: they’re close together and both have harsh, desert surfaces. Geonosis, however, is characterized by spindly rock formations that form tall towers that rise above the ground. Geonosis was also the construction site for the first Death Star, which has a lot to do with why it’s an unpleasant place to visit. That is, unless you’re a battle droid or clone trooper, which is who you’ll be fighting as when this map rolls out November 28. The trailer shows Obi-Wan landing on Geonosis along with a legion of clone troopers. “The Clone Wars have begun,” he says, as footage jumps to Obi-Wan leaping toward a droid and slicing it with his lightsaber.
