For those unaware, the Galactic Battle was a major collaborative season with the Star Wars franchise, and everything from the POIs, to weapons, and even bosses were from the same. Numerous Star Wars-inspired cosmetics were available through both the Battle Pass and the in-game item shop.

One of the biggest highlights of the season was the addition of the Darth Vader AI, who could talk to the players upon engagement. However, this feature brought a lot of controversy around using James Earl Jones' voice, and even some wild responses the AI was giving sometimes. Nonetheless, there were endless memes across social media platforms and millions of players seemed to enjoy the chaos.

We had the complete schedule of major updates provided on the very first day of the season:
