In the multiplayer shooter Star Wars Battlefront, the first DLC “Battle of Jakku” is introduced. It aims to build synergies with the movie Star Wars: “The Force Awakens”.
What is seen in Battlefront during the Battle of Jakku will be experienced by cinema-goers in the film, at least the relics of the battle will be visible. The cinematic film “The Force Awakens”, which will initiate the third trilogy, takes place 29 years after the “Battle of Jakku”, as Battlefront is based on the first trilogy featuring Luke, Leia, Han Solo, and that strange hairy guy who always hangs around with them.
The first DLC, Jakku, is supposed to provide a “gigantic battle” gameplay-wise – with a clear David-versus-Goliath motif: The massive structures of the Star Destroyer against the tiny ships of the Rebels. The Battle of Jakku will completely surround and captivate players, with action promised to be happening everywhere, according to Electronic Arts.
For pre-order customers of Star Wars Battlefront , the free DLC will be available on December 1st, while others will have to wait one week longer. The film is supposed to hit German cinemas on December 17th.
