An update to
EA's Star Wars website from Patrick Söderlund talks about
Star Wars
Battlefront, saying it is "the biggest launch of a Star Wars video game ever
and is the largest digital launch in the history of EA." He also outlines plans
for free content coming to the Star Wars action game along with the planned
premium season pass DLC:
Best of all, this is just the beginning. We have
lots of new content coming over the next several months that will provide new
ways to immerse yourself in Star Wars.
In two weeks, The Battle of Jakku launches. Taking place 29 years before the
events of Star Wars™: The Force Awakens™, The Battle of Jakku is a free DLC
pack* that adds two new maps (including one for popular modes like Walker
Assault and Supremacy) and a new mode to the game. The coolest thing is that
it’s the only place you’ll be able to experience the pivotal events that help
shape the look of one of the next iconic planets in the Star Wars universe. We
can’t wait for you to step onto Jakku for the first time with us.
Of course, we are also planning to support Star Wars Battlefront with new
content well into the future. We will be adding more of what you love about the
game, like new maps and Star Cards, for free in the coming months, in addition
to all of the content we have coming with Season Pass. We’ll have more to share
soon.
