Star Wars: Battlefront gets Death Star expansion pack

Star Wars: Battlefront is heading into space in the latest expansion pack based on one of the most iconic weapons ever created – the Death Star.

A new mode included in the expansion is named Battle Station. This unique mode has players battling across 3 phases - each with a different objective. In Phase 1 you’ll be flying X-wings and A-wings against TIE fighters and TIE interceptors in space. The main objective in this phase is for Rebels to destroy enough TIE fighters until their Y-wing support can come in to weaken the Star Destroyer’s defenses. Once vulnerable, Rebel starfighters can attack the weak spots in an effort to bring the Star Destroyer down.

Phase 2 will have players fighting inside this iconic space station among areas inspired by the classic trilogy. Rebel infantry will be tasked with extracting a priority droid from within the Death Star. And finally, Phase 3 sees players head back into space where the Rebels need to end the battle once and for all - by blowing up the Death Star. Players can become the hero of the Rebellion, Luke Skywalker, in his Red-5 X-wing as they attempt to destroy the Empire’s ultimate weapon. But beware as Darth Vader has been dispatched to protect the Empire's asset in his TIE Advanced.

Other new content will also be coming to the Death Star expansion including new Star Cards and Blasters, in addition to the aforementioned Heroes, Bossk and Chewbacca.

The Death Star expansion will become fully operational in September for PC, Xbox One and PS4.
