All fans of Star Wars: Battlefront can rejoice – the first DLC is now available for all players. EA is also releasing statistics about the battle Rebels vs Empire.
A DLC Snack in Between
Anyone who has exhausted themselves in Star Wars: Battlefront in recent weeks and has already shed the first tears of sorrow due to lack of content can now breathe a sigh of relief. The first DLC titled “Battle of Jakku” is now available for all players on PS4, Xbox One, and PC – and it’s completely free. Previously, the DLC had been accessible for a week to all pre-orderers of the Star Wars shooter.
The Battle of Jakku takes place story-wise 29 years before the new film “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” bringing a new map and the new game mode “Turning Point,” where the Rebels must sequentially capture various control points, which the Empire will of course try to prevent. Especially the battles for the last point should be thrilling, as both sides must behave very strategically there to avoid losing or giving away a quick victory.
But this is far from the end of content for the game. There will be numerous DLCs in the future as well. In 2016, a total of 4 packs are planned, which can already be pre-ordered through a Season Pass. In addition to these paid DLCs, EA will also regularly offer free expansions, which will enhance the game with new maps – these will then, like the Battle of Jakku, be accessible to all players.
Currently, there is a heated discussion about whether Battlefront is “too easy” for a competitive shooter, as it was designed as a game for “the whole family.”
