Test Chamber – Star Wars: Battlefront's Battle Of Jakku DLC
Star Wars: Battlefront got its first injection of DLC today with the Battle of Jakku, so we decided to play a few rounds.
Andrew Reiner and Wade Wojcik shoot some Storm Troopers, avoid AT-ATs, and marvel at the Star Destroyers in the sky on a planet that definitely isn't Tatooine below. Jakku will appear in the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but in terms of timeline, the battle you're seeing here takes place about 30 years before the events of the new film. The DLC is free for all, but is available a little early today for those who pre-ordered the game. It will be available for everyone else on December 8. It includes a new map (Jakku) and a new mode.
