Star Wars Battlefront: 5 Things to Know After Christmas

Star Wars Battlefront DLC & Season Pass

If you go out looking for Star Wars Battlefront, you might encounter offers for the $50 Season Pass. 

The $50 Season Pass will net you all four expansion packs that EA and DICE plan to release. The first DLC will arrive sometime next year. The companies haven't outlined any specific dates yet but the first expansion is planned for early 2016.

The Star Wars Battlefront DLC expansions will deliver new characters, maps, game modes, weapons, Cards, and more. EA and DICE have said that they will be focused "on the original trilogy for this release of Star Wars Battlefront" so don't expect many (if any) tie-ins with The Force Awakens.

While buying the Battlefront Season Pass might sounds great, it's hard to recommend spending a full $50 right now. 

Most of you will be better off skipping the Star Wars Battlefront Season Pass during the holidays. Wait until early 2016. EA and DICE will almost certainly announce concrete details in the early part of next year.
