TL:DR – It is not one of the 4 planned DLC’s. There is a small label at the top of the box with something along the lines of “Early access to the battle of Jakku”. I also wouldn’t be surprised if you could still find this edition in stores. I didn’t pre-order and I got this version. So if you bought it during the first week you no doubt got this version.
Yes, The Battle of Jakku was a pre-order incentive, but in all reality it was basically a “Day one edition” of the game. Jundland Wastes, Forest of Endor, Outpost Beta, and SoroSuub Centroplex are the new maps that can be enjoyed in the Turning Point mode that was introduced to Star Wars Battlefront after launch. It does come with the deluxe edition but the main incentive of that edition gives you early access to the DL-44 weapon and a couple exclusive emotes. It is not one of the 4 planned DLC as you have stated in your opening paragraph. Yes you get early access to The Battle of Jakku, but it has nothing to do with the season pass DLC’s at all. “If you stumped up the extra money for the Deluxe Edition of Star Wars: Battlefront, or you were nuts enough to buy the Season Pass off the bat, you’ll get the first of DICE’s four planned DLC packs for the Star Wars shooter today.” Until then, however, how’s your Battlefront experience been? What maps and modes have you enjoyed the most, and what would you like to see DICE do with the Battlefront IP at the end of the day? I’ll fire up some Jakku gameplay this evening and put together a video for everyone so you get an idea of how it plays out. If that’s to be the case, I hope the airspeeders aren’t as restricted vertically as they seem to be on Hoth, but then that seems to be a primary problem with a lot of the aircraft outside of Fighter Squadron mode. The Imperials can’t recapture points back from the rebels, and the end goal is to prevent the rebels from taking over their final base.ĭICE’s official blog notes that you’ll be able to pilot AT-ST walkers and airspeeders in the Battle of Jakku, with the walkers being primarily for defensive purposes and the airspeeders meant to be used more offensively. Turning Point basically gives the rebels three capture points to take over.
The game mode will have Rebel forces pushing hard to capture a series of increasingly difficult checkpoints en route to taking an Imperial base on the surface of the planet, while the Empire's goons must hold the line against them. This is taken from DICE’s recent stream where they showed off the Battle of Jakku, Turning Point and the new maps. The upcoming Star Wars Battlefront DLC Battle of Jakku will add a new 40-player mode to the game called Turning Point, EA announced today.
