In the near future, Battlefront will finally feature space battles – the “Death Star” DLC fulfills the wishes of the players.
The Rebels Attack the Death Star
With the release of Star Wars: Battlefront, there were some long faces among fans. Especially because the game did not offer extensive space battles, many fans were rather disappointed with the shooter. EA is correcting this mistake with the upcoming “Death Star” DLC, which includes the iconic battle over the Empire’s destructive fortress.
In the new game mode “Battle Station”, the Imperials are permanently on defense to protect their ships and ultimately the massive Death Star from the Rebels’ attacks. The Rebels, on the other hand, have the opposite in mind and want to destroy the Imperials along with the megastructure.
But the battle doesn’t end there: In the second phase, the Rebels land and must secure a droid. Here, the new hero (Chewbacca) and the new villain (Bossk) come into play, each wanting to defend their respective objective.
In the third phase, players will again swing into the vacuum of space to destroy the Death Star – or to defend it. This battle is particularly reminiscent of Episode 6.
There is no fixed date for the “Death Star” expansion yet. However, “September” has been targeted as a rough timeframe.
Apart from that, there is also an event occurring this weekend, where all players can try out the Bespin DLC for free. If you wish, you simply have to log into the game and can try the DLC content for free until Sunday evening (August 21, 2016).
