It's the most wonderful season of the year;
Star Wars season. With
Star Wars: The Last Jedi and
Star Wars: Battlefront II set to release very soon, it should come as a welcome surprise that the game will have content from the movie.
Publisher EA announced today that the first release of new and free content will feature both heroes and locations from the upcoming film days before
The Last Jedi releases in theaters. The game will also add two multiplayer locations on Crait, one for Starfighter Assault and one for ground battle. Resistance players will also have to option to pilot a new ship, called Tallie Lintra's modified A-Wing. This is likely from the upcoming film. Lastly, the game will receive an update to the single player campaign on Dec 13 regarding Commander Iden Versio's story line and heroes Finn and Captain Phasma will be added.
On Dec 5,
Battlefront 11 will also begin to encourage players to chose a side, either Resistance or First Order, by enabling challenges that grant faction-related rewards. Factions with the most points during a week will earn high-powered upgrade crates for their respective heroes, either Finn or Phasma.
As promised by EA, all content released post-launch will be free to play. Players can receive a 10-hour head start to play the game if players join Origins Access or EA Access.
Battlefront 11 will be available on Nov 17 and
The Last Jedi hits theaters on Dec 15.
