New Mode Detailed for Star Wars Battlefront Jakku DLC Empty

The Battle of Jakku DLC will introduce a new mode, known as Turning Point, which dramatises the events which took place on the planet shortly following the Battle of Endor. These are the same events that created the debris we've glimpsed in trailers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

The mode features a beleaguered Imperial army holding out against forces of the New Republic, buoyed by their recent victory at the Battle of Endor.

Here's how lead level designer Dennis Brannvall describes the mode: "At the edge of the map, the Empire has constructed a make-shift base as well as smaller fortifications strewn across the landscape. Following an emergency landing, the Rebels need to locate the enemy bases to attack and take control of them all.

"Rebels need to locate and capture one of the three control points in Imperial control. The clock is ticking, but if the Rebel team succeeds with a capture additional time will be added and new control points will be available for capture. Moving through these increasingly challenging checkpoints, the ultimate goal is the Empire’s base where the final stand will take place."

The Battle of Jakku DLC will feature two maps, with the larger – Graveyard of the Giants – said to provide "great visual spectacle," according to Brännvall. "The battles are ever-present, debris will be falling from the skies, and you'll even see a Super Star Destroyer come crashing down during the round."

The map and mode has been designed to feel especially epic. “There’s a David and Goliath theme to this,” says DICE concept artist Anton Grandert. “The epic, huge super structures of the Star Destroyers contrast against the tiny but brave Rebel soldiers fighting the Imperial forces.”

“We wanted to portray a battle completely surrounding you, in every direction. Debris is falling from the sky, telling the story of battles above. On the surface of the planet you can see ground troops as well as X-wings, all taking part of the fight,”

Turning Point will be included with The Battle of Jakku DLC, which will be made available to all Battlefront players for free from December 8th. If you pre-ordered, however, you will be able to play on Jakku a week earlier on December 1st.

Gameplay from The Battle of Jakku will debut in a Twitch livestream taking place on Monday, November 30th. Players based in the UK can win one of 10 places at the stream by submitting their application at www.starwarsbattlefront.com/london by the close of Wednesday, November 25th.

The Battle of Jakku takes place 29 years before the events of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. We've seen plenty of Jakku in trailers for the movie, and a glimpse of the destruction that battle left behind.
