About a month ago, a game-breaking glitch forced Star Wars Battlefront 2 developer DICE to temporarily remove the sinister Emperor Palpatine from the game’s roster of multiplayer heroes. Now, the Sith-aligned senator has made his (triumphant?) return as part of a larger August update for the Star Wars shooter.

Specifically, Palpatine was removed in the first place because of a targeting glitch that allowed players to hit opponents through walls with his lightning-based special attacks. Now that the issue has been found and fixed, Palpatine is once again available in-game according to this update on the official Star Wars Battlefront 2 forums.

Along with bringing Palpatine back, the August update also restores Battlefront 2’s popular asymmetrical Ewok Hunt mode, complete with a fix for a previous issue that sometimes prevented Stormtrooper players from boarding the escape shuttle at the end of a match. The full patch notes for the August update can be found below:
