EA shares first details for Star Wars Battlefront’s new planet

Battle of Jakku

Recommended Videos

The desert planet of Jakku is set to make its film debut in Star Wars: The Force Awakens later this year. But it’s also making its game debut earlier in December, once Star Wars: Battlefront hits.

EA has shared some news regarding the map, which is billed as a pre-order bonus that’s arriving after launch on December 1. It’s described as a “pivotal moment” when the New Republic confronted the Imperials on this “remote desert planet.” The battle takes place in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, complete with a crashed Star Destroyer backdrop.

Debris will apparently be falling down constantly to set the scene. Sounds pretty cool to me, outside of the lame pre-order scheme.
