Star Wars Battlefront DLC: 10 Specific Things Fans Demand

That Season Pass has to find its worth somehow...

by Ewan Paterson

Though met with a moderate if not lukewarm critical reception when it first landed, DICE's reboot of the Battlefront franchise is proving to be a massive commercial success, having become one of the biggest selling Star Wars titles for years. This has brought with it a large community, fervently determined to make the most out of Battlefront's 5 current locales and in turn make their voices heard in regards to the slew of downloadable content expected to drop early next year.

This DLC-heavy approach taken by EA drew much controversy when it was revealed that the Season Pass would be a £40.00 investment, a justifiable reaction when the base game isn't at all meaty when it comes to content. One thing you cannot deny however is that the game still looks and feels glorious.

Even in its current form, Battlefront manages to convey a Star Wars experience unparalleled in its authenticity, and the level of potential for further exploration of the saga is quite simply huge. With the Expanded Universe now beginning to see life once more, DICE's wee slice of the galaxy far, far away could get even bigger still.

Indeed, the L.A. branch of the studio have the entire universe at their disposal when crafting DLC, and in order to make it worthwhile, well, they're simply going to have to listen to the fans - their demands of which include everything from The Clone Wars to the new trilogy and even old maps they wish to see return. It's a fairly tall wish list, but its more than appropriate for an equally tall asking price.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
