Though it hasn't been officially announced yet, and may not be until December 5, it looks like EA is readying a new release for Star Wars: Battlefront II. It's called Star Wars Battlefront II: Celebration Edition and, as you probably already expect, this release will include the game, all of the previously released free content, a bunch of appearance unlocks, and yes, even some Rise of Skywalker content.
It's probably worth noting here that the Rise of Skywalker content won't be added until December 20, 2019. In addition, the write-up blurb about the game points out that content released after December 20th is not necessarily included in the Celebration Edition. That is to say: If there's more content it may not be free but you can probably buy it if you want.
This new release seems to have been leaked via TrueAchievements, though where they got the information from isn't confirmed. The Celebration Edition includes some new box art, seen above in full, along with the following content. The image shown above was apparently seen as part of a PlayStation Blog entry that was quickly pulled. It is very likely that this is also where the below information also came from.
