Star Wars Battlefront 2’s latest update adds new content inspired by Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which hits theaters on Dec. 15.
Star Wars fans can expect to play two new heroes, including Finn and commanding officer of the First Order, Captain Phasma. Finn will do what he can to protect his allies, go into battle, and destroy any enemies who get in his way. Captain Phasma uses every skill to gain victory.
You’ll also be able to join battles inspired by Star Wars: The Last Jedi, including Galactic Assault on Crait and Starfighter Assault above D’Qar. A new heroic starfighter, Tallie Lintra’s RZ-2 A-wing, also joins Starfighter Assault.
“Not sure who – or what – that is?”, EA wrote in a blog post. “Don’t worry, you’ll know more after seeing Star Wars The Last Jedi. You’ll also see Poe Dameron’s T-70 X-wing, which is also getting an upgrade in Starfighter Assault with a new ability inspired by the movie.”
In addition, the Star Wars Battlefront II update also brings two new maps, a new vehicle, and a free campaign DLC called Resurrection that adds three new chapters to the story.
