Here's the curveball, and it's not BB-8... Rather than release The Force Awakens as DLC, could EA be holding it back for an entire game? Confirmed sequels are in the pipeline, so maybe one of them will be the trilogy of prequels, in the same vein as Battlefront, followed by a third game that would centre solely on Episodes VII, VIII and IX. This release schedule makes sense, and by that time, if each game is released two years apart, it would launch around the same time as Episode IX, ideal for marketing, ideal for maintaining the hype, and ideal for getting the most out of each precious film. It means that ALL three of the new films could play a part. We'd have a full set of characters, a sprawling range of worlds to explore, vast swathes of weapons, vehicles and all manner of insane tools. If that's not the plan, then Force Awakens DLC is essential, but would you be happy to wait to see all of the previous features implemented into a brand new edition of Battlefront? I'd be tempted... Could you see Episode VII arrive as an in-depth DLC pack, a standalone game, or would you rather wait and have it be part of another trio of films in the future? Let us know in the comments!
