Something special is coming to Star Wars Battlefront for "Star Wars Day," May the Fourth. Just what, EA isn't saying quite yet, they just promise "cool activities planned that we'll announce soon."

The team also announced the new Heroes for the next DLC pack, "Bespin." Lando Calrissian and the bounty hunter Dengar will come into the game, though DICE and EA didn't announce what their abilities would be just yet. The expansion pack will have four maps in and around Cloud City (yes, even a map large enough to facilitate Walker Assault with AT-ATs), a sky-based Fighter Squadron map, and a map in the carbonite chamber where Han Solo meets his match. Two new heroes will be included in each of the four expansion packs, DICE finally confirmed.

New in-game events, Hutt contracts, and most excitingly, "more options to enjoy Star Wars Battlefront offline" are all on the way too, all as free additional content, which should be officially announced soon.
