Less than a month after its launch, Star Wars: Battlefront will be getting the Jakku DLC, to tie into the release of the long awaited Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It will be available on December 1 to everyone who pre-ordered the game, while others get it on December 8- everyone does get it for free, at least.
Today, we got to have our first look at this DLC, though for obvious reasons, it was obfuscated.
“There’s a David and Goliath theme to this,” saysDICE concept artist Anton Grandert. “The epic, huge super structures of the Star Destroyers contrast against the tiny but brave Rebel soldiers fighting the Imperial forces.”
“We wanted to portray a battle completely surrounding you, in every direction. Debris is falling from the sky, telling the story of battles above. On the surface of the planet you can see ground troops as well as X-wings, all taking part of the fight,” Grandert says.
While we can’t see the DLC in action yet, we can at least check out the concept art- and that, at the very least, looks glorious.
Star Wars: Battlefront launches November 17 on Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
