New Star Wars Battlefront DLC Outlined

Everybody loves free stuff, especially when that free stuff goes some way towards fixing a major problem that a game had at launch. EA have announced the next batch of downloadable content for Star Wars Battlefront, and it includes more offline content.

In a post on its official page, the publisher said it was listening to community feedback, and was hoping to build upon people’s expectations.

They announced a bevy of fresh, free content to come over the next few months, including:

New In-Game Events – more double score weekends, community missions and Special Login Events are coming for players to earn more experience, credits and items.

New Hutt Contracts – Unlock powerful Star Cards like the Berserker Trait, Bacta Bomb and Ion Neutralizer.

More New Content – We also have a couple of surprises in store that we know our fans have been looking for, especially those who have been clamoring for ways to have more options to enjoy Star WarsBattlefront offline. More to come soon.

Specific for May the 4th – In celebration of Star Wars™ Day we have cool activities planned that we’ll announce soon.

Of course, why plug free content when you can try to sell something too?

This June, Season Pass holders will also receive our second digital expansion pack, Star Wars™ Battlefront™ Bespin. We’re taking players in and around Cloud City, with four new maps for all of our most popular modes. You’ll see AT-ATs in Cloud City, take to the skies in Fighter Squadron, and even spend time in a carbonite chamber. Of course, we’re also adding more blasters and Star Cards, a new game mode, and two new iconic characters we’re really excited about – Lando Calrissian and the cold-blooded bounty hunter, Dengar.

If that isn’t enough, they confirmed that there would be a total of 8 bonus characters included in the Battlefront season pass, although the remaining four will be kept secret for the time being.
