Star Wars Battlefront II Announced

Star Wars Battlefront II improves upon the original game’s single-player experience with open-ended, mission-based objectives inspired from all six Star Wars films. The compelling storyline spans more than 12 new locations, many from Episode III, including volcanic Mustafar and the space battle above Coruscant. All-new classic movie moments complete the Star Wars Battlefront II experience, as players battle within the interior of the Death Star and visit Princess Leia’s blockade runner, the Tantive IV, as seen at the beginning of Episode IV A New Hope. In addition, at certain key moments within the battles, players can feel the Force as a Jedi.

For the first time ever, Star Wars Battlefront II players can engage in space combat and, during the same battle, board enemy ships to attack from within. Starting on foot inside a capital ship, players can enter the spacecraft of their choice and travel into space to dogfight with the rival faction. From there, they can dock within the enemy’s capital ship, overtake the ship’s command posts, man its turrets to disable its shields and destroy it from within! Or, they can simply stay inside their own capital ship and defend it from attacks and enemy fire. The choice is theirs.

The stellar online play that marked the original Star Wars Battlefront returns even bigger and better for Star Wars Battlefront II. Players can locate their buddies and track their stats as they battle alongside more players than ever (up to 24 on PS2, 32 on Xbox, 64 on Windows).

March 7th smiling with arrow in her hand

There's no shortage of stuff to purchase with real money in Honkai: Star Rail. As a gacha game, much of the best gear is hidden behind a paywall, meaning you'll need to crack open your wallet to get your hands on today's most powerful items. That holds true for Light Cones, Honkai: Star Rail's form of weapons, but there are at least a few Light Cones you can access for free.

Of course, "free" isn't really free -- you'll still need to put in the hours and grind away to unlock these Light Cones. But at least you won't have to pay real cash. From where you can get free Light Cones to which ones you should buy first, here's a look at 10 free Light Cones in Honkai: Star Rail.
