The free content will continue for the next couple months. In February, you will be able to download a new Survival mission on Hoth and a Hoth multiplayer map “that will support our larger game modes including Walker Assault, Supremacy, Fighter Squadron and Turning Point.” In addition, Turning Point mode will be available on maps which currently support Walker Assault and Supremacy.

If you purchase the Season Pass for Star Wars: Battlefront, even more content will become available in the coming months. Below is a list of the expansion packs through 2017.

"Star Wars™ Battlefront™ Outer Rim (March 2016) – Fight among the factories of Sullust and battle within Jabba the Hutt’s palace on TatooineStar Wars™ Battlefront™ Bespin (Summer 2016) – It’s hunt or be hunted in this action-packed experience set in the Cloud City of BespinStar Wars™ Battlefront™ Death Star (Fall 2016) – That’s no moon!

You can also purchase each pack separately, if you don’t want to spend a big chunk of money on a Season Pass.

If you’re a Star Wars: Battlefront fan, all of this should be exciting news. I’ve heard some gamers complain there’s not much to this game, so hopefully the expansion packs and free content will solve that issue. We’ll probably see new Heroes and Villains, as well, which will diversify the playing field.

However, if you still have complaints or concerns, keep letting EA Star Wars know.

"In addition to the free content we will be delivering through March, we will continue to listen to our community throughout the year and provide updates designed to make Star Wars Battlefront even more fun for everyone."
