Star Wars Battlefront II which was originally released in 2017 is getting new content in 2026 despite EA and DICE ending official support years ago. PC modders have created their own ecosystem using a community server platform called Kyber and a large-scale content mod called Battlefront+.
Kyber works as a custom server browser that lets players find and join community-hosted matches. Battlefront+ is the actual content mod that adds new units, weapons, and gameplay changes. The two work together but serve different purposes.
Players sign in through their EA account and connect their Nexus Mods account to use Kyber. The platform handles mod installation automatically in most cases. One click downloads and installs whatever mods a server requires before joining.
Battlefront+ has added new playable content across all Star Wars eras. New units include a rebel pilot, deployable droids, and even a gungan warrior. The mod expands the roster beyond what shipped in the vanilla game.
The community servers also solve a major problem with the official matchmaking. Players report rampant cheating in the base game’s lobbies with frequent aimbots and wallhacks. Kyber servers have active moderators who ban cheaters quickly.
Some players find the modded balance questionable. Multiple one-shot weapons and heroes populate matches. Others complain about too many special units and heroes flooding games instead of regular troopers. But many prefer the variety over the stale official experience.
Kyber launched in open beta on December 20 and remains free to use. The platform exists outside EA’s control but still requires players to own the game legitimately. This setup mirrors Titanfall 2‘s Northstar client, which created community servers when official ones struggled.
