Star Wars: Battlefront II will get free DLC after November 11 launch

Star Wars: Battlefront II is one of the most anticipated games of the year. And Electronic Arts figured out how to the shooter even more special by announcing at a Hollywood event today that it will give free content to fans, even after the game launches. EA demoed the first look at multiplayer on stage during the live event.

It’s all part of EA’s strategy shift to providing “live operations” for fans, rather than just launching a game at a single point in time and then moving on to the next one. The free drops (for those who buy the game first) include content with a mix of locations, characters, and rewards. The idea is to “allow players to continue their Star Wars: Battlefront II hero’s journey in a world that is constantly growing.” EA made the announcement at its EA Play event at the Hollywood Palladium. EA’s event is the first ahead of the Tuesday opening of the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) gaming trade show.
