After a controversial release, Star Wars Battlefront II has fallen short of expected sales and will be bringing back microtransactions.
The Wall Street Journal reports EA’s latest Battlefront game sold 9 million copies, which falls 1 million short of the company’s 10 million sales projections.
While it’s reportedly expected between 1 and 3 million more units will sell by the end of fiscal 2018, these sales still put the sequel behind its predecessor, which had hit 14 million by the end of fiscal 2016 (March 31, 2016) after a late 2015 release.
WSJ also shares that EA’s finance chief Blake Jorgensen says microtransactions, which were pulled after the game’s release, will make a return « in the next few months. » EA had indicated, at the time of their removal, that microtransactions would eventually return to the game.
