Battlefront 2 gets new heroes and story DLC based on The Last Jedi today, no credits required

While it's buried under a mountain of loot box-related controversy, there is in fact a game underneath Battlefront II's questionable progression system, and it's one based on one of the world's biggest film franchises. You might've heard that there's a certain new entry in that series hitting theaters soon, and the game will be getting a selection of new content in promotion of The Last Jedi.

Get lost in plenty of galaxies far, far away with the best space games on PC.

That all releases today, leading off with a new Galactic Assault map on the planet Crait and a new Starfighter Assault map set above D'Qar. You'll be able to pilot Tallie Lintra's RZ-A2 A-Wing now (we'll apparently find out who that is in the movie), and Poe Dameron's T-70 X-Wing is going to enjoy a fresh upgrade with a new ability.

Finn and Captain Phasma will the fight on the ground, and both characters will be immediately unlocked without the need to grind out credits if you during December's Last Jedi game season. Also free is the story DLC titled Resurrection, which follows a much older Iden Versio after the conclusion of the main campaign.

Despite 2.5 million units short of its earlier estimated sales.
