New 40-player Star Wars Battlefront mode announced
Here's everything you need to know about Battlefront's new Turning Point mode.
DICE announced today that Star Wars Battlefront's upcoming "The Force Awakens"-inspired DLC, The Battle of Jakku, will introduce not only a new map, but also a 40-player mode called Turning Point.
Alongside this news, EA also announced a new promotion for UK Battlefront fans. The company is holding a "Battle of Jakku: Live from London" event this coming Monday, November 30, beginning at 7 p.m. GMT. Players can sign up for a chance to get to play Battle of Jakku before it's released. Sign-ups end November 25 at 11:59 PM. The event will be streamed live from the EA Star Wars Twitch account on Monday.
The Battle of Jakku launches as free DLC on December 1 for people who preordered Battlefront. Everyone else gets access to it on December 8. Jakku, as it's seen in Battlefront, takes place 29 years before its appearance in "The Force Awakens." That movie comes to theaters on December 18.
