Are you one of those people waiting till December 8 to check out the first of Star Wars: Battlefront’s DLC, Battle of Jakku which released today for anyone who pre-ordered Battlefront? Want to have a peek at the DLC in action? We’ve got you covered! GameWatcher’s Chris Capel is hosting a Livestream tonight!
Battle of Jakku is a splendid looking add-on for the Battlefront game, offering two maps and intense battles that take place among a graveyard of star ships and space stations. The DLC also introduces the new Turning Point mode, which is somewhat like the existing Supremacy or Walker Assault modes. The Empire has three control points and must defend them from Rebel forces until time runs out. The Rebels must take over the control points, each point adding more time to the clock, in a fight to capture all three points and expose a main Imperial base for a final assault.
Battlefront has been extremely lucrative for the series, looking absolutely gorgeous, even if doesn’t play as the best entry. The game has been EA’s most successful digital title launch and has been hailed by EA as the greatest game launch in the history of the Star Wars franchise. Our own reviewer gave the game a fairly decent score. Battle of Jakku seems like a great place to start strong out of the gate for EA and the Battlefront team.
