<p>The very last expansion for the multiplayer game</p>
<p><a href="http://ift.tt/2fbzmly"><em>Star Wars Battlefront</em></a>’s final expansion pack, <em>Rogue One: Scarif</em>, arrives Dec. 6. A free PlayStation VR mission for the game will also launch that day, Electronic Arts announced. </p>
<p>Both sets of downloadable content, based on the upcoming <em>Rogue One: A Star Wars Story</em>, launch nearly two weeks ahead of the spinoff film’s release on Dec. 16. As the last release in <em>Battlefront</em>’s season pass, <em>Rogue One: Scarif </em>adds four new maps set on <a href="http://ift.tt/29HPE0I">the titular tropical planet</a>. <em>Rogue One </em>hero <a href="http://ift.tt/2dOTvRt">Jyn Erso</a> (played by Felicity Jones) will also join the game as a playable character, as will the villainous Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn).</p>
<p><a href="http://ift.tt/21jdFjk">The free, PSVR-compatible</a> <em>X-Wing VR Mission</em> gives players the chance to become immersed in the world of <em>Rogue One</em>, piloting an X-Wing in virtual reality. It’s available to all owners of the game, not just season pass holders.</p>
<p>There’s a sequel to <em>Battlefront</em> in the works and due out in <a href="http://ift.tt/2ebCCuA">fall 2017</a>, according to EA and developer DICE. Expect more content from newer Star Wars films; the first <em>Battlefront</em> <a href="http://ift.tt/1P2g6jv">excludes characters and settings from <em>Episode VII</em></a><em>,</em> despite launching right before it hit theaters.</p>
<p>As for <em>Rogue One</em>, that’s currently set to be a stand-alone story. <a href="http://ift.tt/2ePUeS7">Other Star Wars spinoffs are in the works</a>, along with <a href="http://ift.tt/2cXWlip">2017’s <em>Star Wars: Episode VIII</em></a>.</p>
