Star Wars Battlefront's Bespin Expansion Includes AT-ATs In Cloud City, More Offline Options
Electronic Arts and DICE have teased more of what's to come with the next major expansion to Star Wars Battlefront, which takes us to the Cloud City of Bespin this June.
While the big star of the June update is the premium expansion itself - part of the Season Pass - DICE is also including some more free content updates such as more in-game events, new Hutt Contracts for powerful Star Cards, and something to celebrate Star Wars Day on May 4th. Interestingly there are more 'offline options' coming too.
"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."
Meanwhile the Bespin expansion, the second of four officially announced add-ons, will be adding a total of four new maps and includes a new game mode. AT-ATs will be stomping through the Cloud City, and we'll be pew-pewing in the skies with Fighter Squadron. Some of the fighting will definitely happen inside a certain carbonite chamber.
A total of 8 heroes will be added over the course of the Season Pass content and 2 were added with Outer Rim: Greedo and Niem Nunb. Bespin will bring Lando Calrissian and bounty hunter Dengar into the mix.
"...two more each in both the Death Star expansion and our yet-to-be-revealed fourth expansion pack," continued the official Star Wars Battlefront blog.
Highlights for the coming months:
• 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.
While Star Wars Battlefront has done a great job at fleshing out the locations it has visited so far, fans are still clamouring for a space-based battle, and while it's unlikely to happen the same way as previously in the Battlefront series, the Death Star expansion should at least offer Fighter Squadron in space, surely. It's one of Star Wars biggest space battles.
