This will take us all on a journey back to the golden days of the series with enhancements of the original first two games. Here you will find the release date and time countdown for when the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection will come out on PS5, PC, and Xbox.
March 2024 is full of massive video game releases, yet Star Wars multiplayer games dating back to 2004/05 are still two of the biggest and most exciting with their re-releases.
