Fighting for the empire is the infamous slow shooter Greedo. His abilities are centered around a confidence meter ranging from 1-5. In addition to his turret, he also has a Rapid Pulse Cannon and an Orbital Strike, which in close quarters is a proximity bomb. Nien’s main trait is his turret that becomes stronger the more enemies he kills. On the side of the Rebel Alliance, we have the iconic character Nien Nunb. Two new heroes have been added to the fray, one for each side. The detail on these maps is up to par with the original maps, showing areas that are iconic from the movies along with other areas that may not have been seen in the movies. Villains mode, which worked well on that map, but made for very short matches. The only mode that I got to play on that map was the Heroes vs. Jabba’s Throne Room and the garage are pretty big maps with lots of tunnels and small areas for close firefights as well as larger areas for team clashes. Sullest is a pretty small map with a medium size area for big fights, but the majority of the time it wound up in close-quarters firefights. The three locations include Jabba’s Throne Room, the Sail Barge Garage, and an industrial area of Sullest. Included in the DLC are 3 new maps, 2 new heroes, a new game mode, new cards, and a new weapon.

The first expansion included in the season pass, The Outer Rim, released on March 22nd for passholders and will be released on April 4th to be purchased on its own. And, honestly, based on the first expansion it doesn’t seem worth it. That seems like an awful lot of money to pretend to feel like you are in the Star Wars universe. The pass itself is about $49.99 on its own. So you are looking at spending a minimum total of at least $110 to get the base game and the season pass. Those that bought the Standard or Deluxe Editions of the game needed to buy it separately. The big question is what will this cost you? Well if you bought the Ultimate Edition of the game then the Season Pass was included, so you are set. Not only that, but you also get them 2 weeks earlier than everyone else. Getting the season pass means you get the first four expansions that EA has planned leading into early 2017. Will it be enough to get you back into the game? It depends.įirst let’s talk about the Season Pass. So when the Outer Rim DLC came out for season pass holders, I thought I would give it another go. It wasn’t that I stopped liking the game, I just picked up other games that held my interest longer. I played all the multiplayer modes at least once and the repetitiveness of the same few maps wore on me. However, after a while, I pretty much stopped playing. I loved the idea of playing as iconic characters in iconic places and being able to feel like I was part of the Star Wars universe. Like a lot of players, I was excited to play Star Wars Battlefront when it came out late last year.
