"Star Wars Battlefront 2," despite being confirmed for release, will not feature the much-awaited Conquest game mode. The confirmation comes from DICE's associate design director Dennis Brannvall.
Brannvall took to Twitter and gave the confirmation, saying that the development team will not go that far into other franchises made by DICE. However, he acknowledges the fact that "Star Wars Battlefront 2" has some things to learn from the "Battlefield" franchise, which features the Conquest Game mode developed by the same company.
@nbyrne00 I don't think we'll go that far into our other franchise but there's certainly things to learn from both

The Conquest game mode basically pits players against each other, where they need to capture and hold strategic points in order to win the game. The mode was not featured in the first installment of "Star Wars Battlefront," but majority of fans wanted the game mode to be implemented on the second installment, according to Game Rant.
However, "Star Wars Battlefront" has a similar game mode called Supremacy that runs similarly as Conquest. The company has made several tweaks to improve the overall experience for the upcoming 2017 game.
One of the possible reasons for DICE's refusal to add the Conquest Mode in "Star Wars Battlefront 2" is the overlap that may be generated between two of the franchises, with the other being "Battlefield 1." With this, DICE is playing it safe in order to avoid possible harmful effects caused by two games sharing one game mode.
Meanwhile, the current "Star Wars Battlefront" game's last DLC, "Rogue One: Scarif," had some issues with its purchasers as well as bugs regardless of platform, according to Game Spot. One of the biggest problems it presented was the fact that purchasing it caused the owners to lose access to their previously bought content.
EA has already issued a workaround to the problem, pointing out that the issue ultimately linked to a reissued license as the cause of the problem. With this, the issue has been resolved and players can now enjoy their "Battlefront" DLC without problems.
