Rogue One: Scarif Announced As Final Battlefront DLC

For fans of Star Wars, this weekend is a time to celebrate the franchise's past whilst looking forward to the future. The literally titled Star Wars Celebration Europe is the place to be for that sort of thing.

On day 1 of Celebration, a new planet called Scarif was shown. It's a paradise planet that will appear in the upcoming Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Today at the Behind EA's Star Wars Games panel, the studio revealed that the new planet will also be the foundation for the fourth and final paid DLC pack for Star Wars Battlefront, titled Rogue One: Scarif.

The final DLC will star Jyn Erso and Director Krennic as the heroes, giving players the chance to play as the newest hero and villain in the Star Wars universe, and will release this holiday to coincide with the film. "Fans can watch the movie, then come home and play in that exact world," a representative from EA said at the panel.

Rogue One: Scarif will follow the third announced DLC pack for the game, which is themed around the Death Star, and was shown off earlier as well. it will include some of the most popular moments from the films, including the trench run, and will also come with two playable heroes, Chewbacca and Bossk. The third pack will launch in the fall.
