Leia's Princess Skin Finally Coming to Star Wars Battlefront II


Princess Leia has been playable in Star Wars Battlefront II since the very beginning, but she has admittedly a scarceness of appearances in the game. What's cool though, is her princess look from A New Hope is finally coming to the game, but you're going to have to play a special in-game event to unlock it.

This is the description based on the community transmission:

Leading her forces into battle and holding the line when there was nowhere left to go, Leia Organa has always mastered the balance between princess and General. In preparation for May the Fourth in only a few days, we're adding Leia's iconic A New Hope appearance to the game: Princess of Alderaan! This appearance will be visible from the collection screen once the update goes live.

This isn't just a regular appearance drop, though. To unlock this iconic look, players must take part in an in-game event by capturing command posts in Capital Supremacy! The May the Fourth Special Event will begin on May 1st and run until May 6th. Good luck, and may the Force be with you.

We'll have more details on the event in just a few days time.

This should come as good news for a lot of players since Leia's princess skin has been one of the most requested in the game. Hopefully, this means that we could look forward to more appearances from other heroes. Among the top of the list are farmboy and X-Wing Luke, as well as damaged Vader, and Revenge of the Sith Palpatine. Personally, I'm still holding out for a "Ben Swolo"/shirtless Kylo Ren appearance.

The event to get the Leia skin runs from May 1–6. Star Wars Battlefront II is currently playable for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
