Star Wars: Battlefront’s next expansion adds Cloud City and Lando

OK, this sounds a bit more exciting for Star Wars fans, even if one addition has us a little perplexed.

EA has released details for its next Star Wars: Battlefront expansion, the second of five planned as part of its season pass. Titled Bespin, the new content includes four maps based around Cloud City, the floating locale from The Empire Strikes Back. It releases in June and adds Lando Calrissian for the Rebels and the bounty hunter Dengar for the Imperials as new hero characters. Battlefront has performed well for publisher Electronic Arts, selling over 13 million copies to retailers as of January. Expansions and new content help keep players active, which make them more likely to keep playing and spend money on future downloadables.
