Star Wars Battlefront Collection May Still Be Using Fan-Made Mod

The recently released Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection may still be using a fan mod for its bonus content, as claimed by the person who originally made it. When it was announced that longtime Star Wars PC port developer Asypr was bringing the first two Battlefront games to modern hardware in the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection, fans were excited. This only increased when it was revealed that the collection would also feature the Xbox-exclusive DLC for Star Wars Battlefront 2, which allowed players to take control of Clone Wars-era fan favorites Asajj Ventress and Kit Fisto.

However, it was soon discovered that Asypr was seemingly using an old mod to bring Ventress and Fisto to the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection. Said mod simply reskinned two existing Star Wars Battlefront 2 heroes as the DLC characters, with Ventress wielding an entirely different weapon as a result. Asypr soon apologized for this, stating that the footage shown in the Battlefront Classic Collection was a placeholder that featured the mod by mistake and that the finished product wouldn't use any code from uncredited sources.

Despite this, original Star Wars Battlefront 2 modder iamashaymin recently came forward with evidence that their DLC mod is still being used in Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection. In a pair of Twitter posts (via IGN), iamashaymin pointed out that before it was patched, the Nintendo Switch version of the game featured the same bugs and glitches as their Kit Fisto mod, and a data mine revealed that it was indeed the same files with just the lightsaber attack animations updated. Iamashaymin would later back up their claims with screenshots of Fisto’s Force Orb attack, which is shown to have the same bubble effect as the mod from 2020.

Iamashaymin states that despite theStar Wars Battlefront Classic Collection allegedly using their mod for the Xbox-exclusive Battlefront 2 DLC, they remain uncredited. They say that they never had any issue with Aspyr
