Star Wars: Battlefront II

Star Wars: Battlefront II is the sequel to Star Wars: Battlefront. It is a high-selling Star Wars video game following the many adventures of several characters. The two games are very similar, as both revolve around troopers from various factions fighting in different locales. Battlefront II, however, includes elements and missions from Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, as well as enhanced aspects of gameplay including space combat and the ability to play as "heroes", certain iconic Light Side/Dark Side characters from the Star Wars franchise, which previously only appeared as AI-controlled NPCs.

The game's campaign mode is entitled Rise of the Empire. The story takes the player on different missions throughout the galaxy as part of the Galactic Empire's 501st Legion, also known as Vader's Fist, from the perspective of a clone trooper veteran.

Other game modes include "Instant Action" where the player can fight on any battleground, land or space, and "Galactic Conquest" where the player fights as a certain faction for control of the galaxy.

The game was released on November 1, 2005, for the PC, Mobile phone, Xbox, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation 2, the same day that Revenge of the Sith was released on DVD.

The first game and Battlefront II were re-released on March 14, 2024 as the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection.
