Report: Star Wars Battlefront’s Next Update Includes Free Map, Hero Outfits
We still don’t know anything about what’s coming in the Star Wars Battlefront paid DLC, but hints of free add-ons have emerged. A video from EA Brazil that has now been removed, suggests what’s coming next for the shooter.
VideoGamer reports that prior to its removal, the video discussed a new map and some new looks for our heroes. The new battleground is allegedly set on Tatooine. It’s not clear if this is a big map for Walker Assault, something smaller, or both.
The video, which was translated by WCCFTech.com (which still has a copy of the video), also indicates that there are new outfits coming for Luke and Leia. You can also hear mention of daily challenges and private matches, which stand out even if you don’t speak Portuguese.
We’ve reached out to EA for comment. We’ll update should we receive a response. For more on Star Wars Battlefront, check out our review.

Our Take
While I’m still eager to see what EA and DICE have cooked up for DLC content, this gives us reason to rejoin the fight. I’ve had a great time with Walker Assault, and I hope the new map supports that mode.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
