EA has revealed that today is the one year anniversary for Star Wars Battlefront. To help celebrate the occasion DICE is announcing that Star Wars Battlefront Rogue One: Scarif will be available for season pass holders beginning on December 6. The fourth and final digital expansion pack includes new content inspired by the upcoming film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. In Rogue One: Scarif, players will battle across four new maps, including the sandy Beaches of Scarif, an all-new tropical planet crawling with Imperials. Jyn Erso and Orson Krennic will also join the battle as two new playable heroes, and a new multi-stage game mode with space and ground combat will make its debut.

Also arriving on December 6 is the Star Wars Battlefront Rogue One: X-Wing VR Mission for PlayStation VR. This DLC gives you control of your very own X-wing in fully immersive virtual reality – brush up on your piloting skills, stay on target, and prepare to jump through hyperspace as you carry out an important mission for the Rebellion.

Nien Nunb can have a showdown against Dengar on the sandy dunes of Jakku. Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian can team up to take down Greedo and Bossk in the halls of Jabba's palace. Players can take control of the loveable R2-D2, rolling through hallways of blaster fire while shutting down the enemy with his trusty fire extinguisher. Star Wars Battlefront has become an epic Star Wars sandbox, giving players the chance to battle throughout the galaxy like never before.
