Wow, out of nowhere! The Star Wars Battlefront games are not necessarily renowned for their contemporary incarnations, but their original PS2 outings instead. And now they’re making a comeback, with full online multiplayer for up to 64-players. Due out on 14th March for PS5 and PS4, the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection will bundle together the first two titles from the series, with expanded Hero Assault modes.
You’ll be able to enjoy the original campaigns in all their glory, as well as the complete multiplayer modes, and the strategy-inspired Galactic Conquest. There’ll be local split-screen multiplayer as well, so plenty to do. The only thing we’re unsure of is whether there’ll be crossplay between all platforms, but we’ll check with Aspyr to get confirmation.

Online is enabled!? Shut up and take my money!
These are two of my all-time favorite and most-played games. I'm ecstatic about this bundle. They must have read my mind, because I've been thinking about Battlefront recently because of how much Helldivers II reminds me of it.
These games were my childhood. Played it constantly on PS2 and PSP. A lot of memories of Bespin Platforms and Mygeeto.
Guys will see this and just think "This is where the fun begins"
Just like the simulation
Helldivers 2 may have finally set a reset trend in the industry when it comes to multiplayer, people just want to have fun! Can't wait to return to this classic experience!
LET ME PRE ORDER!!! I want that 64 players official servers
Day 1 buy from me as i adore these games.
Cool! I played a lot of Battlefront II back in the day!
@mrtennis1990 Most online games these days are about grinding for cash in-game, and most of them miss the fun factor these old games had. I only play Hell Let Loose for the laughs with my friends, now it's time for some old school Battlefront!
I'm in. Take my money!
There must be some mad game preservation obsessed employee within Disney.
I would not have expected to see this level of dedication to keeping classics playable, especially at a mega corp like Disney but over and over again, they keep releasing classic titles on new consoles. Hell they're holding up the entire PS Plus Premium catalog
Excellent! Enjoyed these way back when. Bet @RogerRoger’s backlog just let out an audible grown 😜
cant wait making march so bloomin pricey now
And with split-screen!! OMG that brings back memories 😁
I screamed.when I saw this. Battlefront 2 is one of my childhood classics! All I need now is SSX Tricky, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and I can die happy 😊😊
WESA GOIN HOME
The OG Battlefront 2 is easily one of my favourite Star Wars games and so excited to the OG Battlefront games again especially with Online support
Take my money. Online is a solid addition
Great! Now someone please do the rogue squadron trilogy.
Oh my god oh my god oh my god I am honestly freaking out! The best battlefront games, with multiplayer, oh my god
Soooo many hours spent in battlefront 2 as a kid
That's so cool. I never got to play these online and 65 player MP sounds amazing. That really sells the collection. I will totally get this.
This was the most exciting announcement for me in the Nintendo Direct. Glad to hear it’s coming to PlayStation as well. Could go for some split-screen co-op Galactic Conquest with my niece, like we did years ago.
Just wish it was out today. It’d be a good replacement to tide us over while we wait for Helldivers 2 to straighten itself out.
Finally, the good Battlefront games!
Fans have asked for this for the last 10 years! I’m just happy that we finally got it! We won boys…. We won 🥹
Guessing these are the ones that dont have micro transactions which is why people are so hyped?
This is a remaster just like the TombRaider collection released by the same developer.
I played the heck out of both of these on PC back in the day. I was terrible at it but still contributed.
I've gotten used to an controller since then, so I'll probably do much better now.
These games were my childhood and to have them release on modern consoles with trophy support is amazing. I am only holding out on pre ordering it until I know which version has the platinum. See you on the battlefront troopers.
@Fyz306903 Nintendo published them, which I think may be the problem. I know it would sell like crazy though
