Some free, some paid
Despite likingStar Wars Battlefrontquite a lot initially — far more than I would’ve expected, going in — I think it has been, what? A month since I last played? That weekend bonus XP event in December is the last time I remember hopping on, and even then, I didn’t stick around for long. As many players have said before, without consistent new content, it is difficult to stay motivated.
The first major release,The Battle of Jakku, was all right — a decent starting point. We’ve known that more DLC is on the way, but when? And to what extent? EA has some answers.
Here’s a summary of the upcoming free and premium content, as well as this month’s patch
Free for allplayers
March 2016
Paid digital expansions (available standalone or in the season pass)

Besides everything mentioned above, DICE will “continue to listen to [its] community throughout the year and provide updates designed to makeStar WarsBattlefronteven more fun for everyone,” according to senior producer Sigurlina Ingvarsdottir.
There are also a detailed notes forthis month’sBattlefrontupdate. If you just want to know if the overpowered, oft-used DL-44 blaster pistol has finally been changed, the answer is yes: “overheat tweaked and fire rate changed from 250 to 180.”
