EA will be expanding upon Star Wars Battlefront's meagre pickings from tomorrow, adding Private Matches, Daily Challenges, and new Hoth-themed outfits for Luke Skywalker and Han Solo starting tomorrow. In addition, the Tatooine Survival Map will soon support the Blast, Droid Run, Drop Zone, Hero Hunt, and Heroes vs Villains multiplayer modes.
This marks the start of the shooter's post-release journey in 2016, with three premium add-on packs set to launch as part of the Season Pass starting in March. Outer Rim will be the first of these, where you'll battle within Jabba the Hutt's palace and the factories of Sullust. The Cloud City of Bespin will follow in the summer, while the Death Star will make its debut in the autumn. A final DLC pack will launch in early 2017, but DICE isn't disclosing details pertaining to that just yet.
You can peruse the full road map on the PlayStation Blog, which references further complimentary improvements coming in February.

free DLC is nice and all but still no story mode
Do people still play this sorry attempt at a cash in?
Its Nice of them to finish the game they released 3 months ago before selling us DLC.
About damn time
love this game but i does get a tad tediouse
@Tasuki Seems that way: http://swbstats.com/
This patch is going to be awesome the balance changes are great I just hope they will fix the a wings they are so op atm
@Tasuki @get2sammyb I'm guilty for playing it I just love it to much
Suckers
It's a good game but it is very limited in content at the moment. Compared to battlefront 2 there is so much missing. No space battles being the main thing I miss, but hopefully this new update is the beginning of the improvements that could make it the game we all hoped for.
@SKC_Diamond I agree I think it's a great game but it can get a bit tedious, hopefully the new updates start to come thick and fast.
I haven't played Battlefront in a while, but this might make me put in back in the ps4 for a couple hours of mindless fun.
I proudly play this game almost every day. The hate is not warranted! This is the stars wars game the fans have deserved! Daily challenges sound great but the rest is take it or leave it.
I will wait for the goty edition or something before I shell out for this, only just got around to getting mgs5 (which I am loving)
Every single person who I ask about this game only has the compliant that it doesn't have enough content so this is an improvement in that regard, but I don't think it's enough.
Much appreciated update. Please continue. Update the E-11s to ESB on Hoth and Tunisia in the desert and I'll be happy
@Tasuki it appears we do. And I for one am loving it
I bought it for only £27.50 so I don't feel that ripped off. But even at that price the game feels empty i.e Not many Weapons really and the Characters you get to pick are boring until you get to level 40 but even then there are only 1 or 2 cool looking Characters to choose(Shocking considering the Star Wars universe has LOADS of cool Characters) And looking at the few cutscenes in the game it is depressing because they could of made a cool Story mode to. Apart from that I am enjoying the game(the only other FPS this Gen I liked was KillZone:SF)
@Tasuki Yes because it's good
Add more content and I will take the plunge.
I was able to get a copy for $41 with coupons. I've been enjoying this the past couple weeks. It truly is a lot of fun. The new patch with tweaks to OP gear/heros/ships (DL-44, Bowcaster, Homing Missile, for a couple mentions) will be a welcome sight. The new maps and gameplay, especially the latest Turning Point game and private matches will be fun.
The Star Wars fan in me just had to get this and I'm not disappointed.
Brilliant news , more free DLC . EA are so good at looking after their games post release I may even get some of the paid DLC content as a thank you , we should support Devs who look after us.
