Remember when Star Wars Battlefront was considered a hotly anticipated game? Yeah, us neither – but it's still somewhat popular we suppose. And credit to developer DICE, it's been supporting the first-person shooter intensely since launch, with a new Skirmish mode set to be added for free starting 20th July.
This mode will essentially enable you to play offline either solo or in split-screen across two modes: Walker Assault and Fighter Squadron. It'll preface the release's third expansion pack which will whisk you away to the Death Star in September, and will also plot the return of "one larger-than-life character".
Chewie – is that you?

I skipped this game as a protest, no single player is a no buy to me, no matter how much I love SW and how this game looks good.
More like HYPErdrive, wheeeyyy. I still play this a couple times a week and the matches are usually full, but waiitng 9 months for Chewie was a ballache!
so this is free for everyone then?
@FullbringIchigo Yes.
Found this game real cheap and I love it. It has even replaced Splatoon as my go to online mp game and Uncharted 3 as our couch co op game. Please let us play these new modes as cooperative too.

This game is both 1st and 3rd person. If Overwatch was like that I would have bought it ages ago.
@get2sammyb great ^_^
Meh the game was fine for around 10 hours then the Star Wars shine wore off, it's a decent game but force wasn't strong with it.
Picked this up for £10 last week so this is a nice addition to the game
@Frank90 you hero
yippee!!
Time to dust off my stormtrooper helmet.
Also, we'll soon be able to have women scout troopers and shadow troopers. About time!!! That should have been an option from the beginning.
Hopefully the AI will be fun. I'll be glad to have another SP option at least
Might still hold out to see if they flesh out Battlefront 2. The first one might be a buy for me in a bargain bin as I could really care less for online, but split screen modes tempt me to the dark side a bit. Still, not willing to pay the current asking price for what looks to me like half of a game.
Might consider this if it goes on sale now that this is added. Your turn Blizzard.
@Frank90 Same here, I'll never play Battlefront.
