'These are designed to rally the Community around certain goals and objectives, giving players the chance to earn credits and unlocks even faster,' Ingvarsdottir writes, and the impact will be seen straight away - new Hoth outfits for Luke and Han will be available for all players, following a 'Heroes' Holiday' special event in December. These tend to be the larger maps in the game, given the scale of the Imperial Walkers, so expect some pretty expansive battles to stretch out over their areas.Īn update going live tomorrow will also introduce a Private Match function, finally allowing players to set up games with just their friends, along with daily challenges and community events. There will be tweaks to existing maps too, with the 'Turning Point' game mode to become playable on any map that currently supports 'Walker Assault' and 'Supremacy' modes. February will see a new survival mission set on Hoth, along with a new multiplayer map for the icy planet, while March sees a new map for the forest moon of Endor. We'd be surprised if there wasn't some Battle of Jakku-style tie-in for Battlefront.īeyond the main expansion packs, DICE is also planning new maps and modes for Star Wars Battlefront.

While there will be 'more details to share' in the future, the release will come shortly after the cinematic release of Rogue One, the first Star Wars anthology movie, centred on the Rebel crew that stole the Death Star plans. That leaves 'Star Wars Battlefront Expansion Pack 4 - Title TBA' for early 2017.
