Kit Fisto And Asajj Ventress Aren't New To Star Wars Battlefront 2

Some Star Wars fans seem to think that Kit Fisto and Asajj Ventress are new additions to the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection, but they actually appeared in Battlefront 2 all the way back in 2006.

This week has been one of the busiest in gaming news for quite some time, mostly thanks to Wednesday's long-rumoured Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase. The presentation was full of surprising gaming news, from Grounded and Pentiment coming to Xbox, to Epic Mickey finally getting a remake after more than a decade.

Mandalorian TV show? No. Mandalorian game? Yes!

One of the most exciting announcements made in the Partner Showcase, however, is that the first two Star Wars Battlefront games are being remastered by Aspyr and released in a collection that will feature 64-player online battles, alongside some extras like Kit Fisto and Asajj Ventress being playable characters for everyone and select maps being made available across all versions.

As great as it is to see all this content being made available across every platform, there was a bit of confusion surrounding some of it. When Asajj Ventress and Kit Fisto were announced as "additional characters", a lot of players took that to mean that they were brand-new and had been added to the game specifically for the Classic Collection.

That isn't actually the case, however, as Kit Fisto and Asajj Ventress were actually available for Battlefront 2 all the way back in 2006 as DLC. It's not surprising that a lot of players don't realise this, however, as both he and Asajj Ventress were exclusive to Xbox, meaning that anyone who played on PS2 or PC won't have ever seen them in action.

Considering this was all the way back in 2006, it's not like this kind of information was shared around like it would be today, either. That means that a lot of classic Battlefront players are only just seeing Asajj Ventress and Kit Fisto for the first time and thinking that Aspyr has added them to the game itself.

It's a similar story with the Jabba's Palace map from Battlefront 1, which was also added as DLC for the Xbox version of the game before being added to Battlefront 2 from the start.

Although the DLC for Asajj Ventress and Kit Fisto is now impossible to find, some players have managed to get access to both characters and posted gameplay videos of them that reveal how they differ from the rest of the cast. Even if the two aren't actually new to Battlefront 2, the vast majority of players will never have had the chance to experience them, so it's still a win on Aspyr's part.
