Star Wars Battlefront 2 is going to receive another major update in the future, an update which will introduce changes to one of the game's most played mode.

On the game's official forums, it's been confirmed that the next Star Wars Battlefront 2 update launching this month will introduce changes to the Heroes vs Villains mode. The new mechanics will deeply change how the mode is played.

You’ve all given us a lot of feedback about HvV and with it, we’re making some changes to the mode.

With this month’s update, we’re completely reworking the targeting system in Heroes vs Villains. Now, defeating an enemy hero will add a point to your team’s elimination score, regardless of which one you defeat.

With these new mechanics, the mode will no longer be a first to 10 target eliminations. Instead, the first team to reach 25 eliminations will be the victors of the match.

We will also update the achievement for eliminations to reflect this change. It will now unlock upon eliminating 50 enemies in HvV rather than be tied to target eliminations.

Thanks for the feedback on this one! This is one of the many changes we’ve made (and will continue to make) to the game that have been based directly on what players are asking for and talking about. Once this update goes live, let us know what you think!

Other changes are also coming to Star Wars Battlefront 2 later this month.
