‘Star Wars: Battlefront’ Is On Fire: New Content Comes May, New DLC In June


Star Wars: Battlefront fast became one of the biggest titles of 2015 when it rolled out to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in November last year. Just a few month removed from its release date, Star Wars: Battlefront continues its streak by releasing content after content, leaving Star Wars: Battlefront fans with more to play with and less dead time.

Star Wars: Battlefront just came out with the Outer Rim DLC this April, but Electronic Arts is already gearing for a new update come May. Posted at the Star Wars Battlefront official forums, Star Wars Battlefront Producer Paul Keslin reveals that the early May update will cover all bugs and troubles brought about by the last Outer Rim DLC.

“Specifically, some have had to deal with confusing UI feedback like Credits not showing up at the end of a match, Hutt Contract progression freezing or resetting, or – my award for most frustrating – having your Rank seemingly roll back. The good news: the team here has jumped on and fixed all of these issues! Our systems for tracking all of the stats are working properly so what players saw was not stats being lost, mixed up, etc.; but instead the UI was not reading the data correctly at times, which resulted in showing you faulty information. Not to worry, however, as all of your progress and stats are being tracked appropriately on the backend and will update correctly with the fixes.”

The May update will also bring exciting new content already, which are still mysteriously cooking up in the EA labs:

“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 Wars Battlefront 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.”

And then in just a few more weeks, we will be seeing another Star Wars Battlefront DLC land in our Xbox One, PS4, and PC units. Star Wars Battlefront’s Bespin DLC is slated to arrive in early June for season pass holders, which will take us all back to the Cloud City of Bespin. This is just a mere two months from the release of the Outer Rim DLC, but who are we to complain?

Movie Pilot posts the official statement from EA regarding the Star Wars Battlefront Bespin DLC:

“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.”

The addition of hero Lando Calrissian, Baron Administrator of Cloud City, isn’t as much of a shock as Dengar, one of the Bounty Hunters hired by Darth Vader in Empire Strikes Back. But more heroes, more excitement! With Dengar included in the Star Wars Battlefront Bespin DLC, we may be looking at Bounty Hunter mode since we know the bounty hunters were chasing Han Solo throughout the Cloud City of Bespin in Empire Strikes Back.

YouTuber Westie also brings more Star Wars: Battlefront Bespin DLC news.

We’re just hoping Obi Wan Kenobi or Chewbacca are already lined up for the next Star Wars: Battlefront DLC.
