Next week, the first purchasable DLC “Outer Rim” for Star Wars Battlefront will be released.

On Tuesday, March 22, it’s finally happening. Then the first paid DLC “Outer Rim” for the online shooter Star Wars Battlefront will be released on PC, Xbox One, and Playstation 4. EA announced this tonight in a trailer: On March 22, it should be playable if you own a Season Pass.

Whether the DLC can be purchased separately next week is not clear from the trailer. A leak from a retailer recently suggested this would only be possible from April 5. But that was not confirmed.

Update: It is now confirmed. Players without a Season Pass will only be able to start on April 5. The 4 DLCs are expected to cost $15 each (likely also in Euros), the Season Pass with all four was available for $50.

The trailer once again addresses the age-old question: Who shot first? Han or Greedo?

The DLC brings four new maps on Sullust and Tatooine. It promises pipelines, platforms, Jabba’s throne room, and the hangar of his sail barge. With Greedo and Nien Nunb two extraordinary heroes are newly added. The Relby-v10 rifle and the DT-12 blaster pistol are also included. For star cards, you can expect “Scattergun”, “Dioxis Grenade”, and “Adrenaline Stimulator”.

The fresh game mode “Transport” is also thrown into the mix by EA. Here, rebels must recover material from transports and bring it to their cargo ship. The imperial troops will try to prevent them from doing so.
