'Star Wars Battlefront' DLC News: With No Episode 7, What Else Is In Store For Players?
When Electronic Arts and DICE recently revealed that they are not bringing any "The Force Awakens" content to "Star Wars Battlefront," a lot of fans were disappointed. Given the movie's popularity and its ability to successfully bring back "Star Wars" fans to the fold, many loyal viewers thought that they would see the heroes and villains in Episode 7 in the game.
To appease fans, however, EA and DICE have released initial information about the content that they will bring to the game, through paid DLC or expansion packs, as well as free DLC.
The first free DLC that came to the game was the Battle of Jakku. According to a report in Gotta Be Mobile, the game will be receiving its first expansion pack in early 2016, which will be the first of four that EA and DICE will be releasing.
