Star Wars: Battlefront - Anniversary Edition (formerly known as Star Wars: Battlefront Legacy Edition) is a mod for the original Star Wars: Battlefront dedicated to upholding the franchise's legacy, from the original games, portable titles, cancelled works to DICE's reboot of the franchise.

Anniversary Edition Poster

In 2023, I restarted development on what was originally known as Star Wars: Battlefront Legacy. I amended the title in the hopes of avoiding confusion with the similarly-titled Star Wars: Battlefront III Legacy and resumed working on the project, with a new direction, inspired by the various entries in the Battlefront franchise. The first thing I did was overhaul the class system. Though I kept to the same basic structure as the original Legacy mod - which in turn was a modified version of the base game's structure.

New Processing Facility

I also chose to change some of the maps to add in props and features recogniseable from other games, such as the Processing Facility in Cloud City. Some maps have been extensively redressed, while some simply have the odd cosmetic tweak.

A new area added to Hoth: Echo Base

In mid 2023, I chose to return to education, and so work on the mod was halted for a while, until I could properly assess my situation as well as the work I had done so far. That assessment has now concluded and I feel comfortable enough to continue and push this over the finish line.

As far as this restart goes, it's the same mod it was in 2023, just with a new title. Given its current state, which I am happy to say is pretty much feature-complete, it is now planned for release this year - the new name was chosen to celebrate 20 years since the original game launched.

As far as further support, one map pack addon is expected to be shipped alongside the release - the Star Wars: Battlefront II map pack, which will enable you to play all ported SWBF2 maps properly with this mod. Further map packs are being explored, such as a map pack containing my previous maps, updated to work with Anniversary Edition, and support for the Elite Squadron Map Packs.
