Update Star Wars Battlefront voegt filmfilter toe

De beloofde februari-update van Star Wars Battlefront zorgt wederom  voor een waslijst aan verbeteringen. De grootste? Naast de nieuwe map Twilight on Hoth, kunnen spelers ook een filmfilter opzetten die een filmische grain toevoegt. Zo voelen de cinefielen zich meteen thuis.

Opmerkelijk is dat de gratis DLC, The Battle of Jakku, ook in deze update verwerkt zit. Op die manier wil DICE een versnippering van de community tegengaan. Verder zijn verschillende Star Cards opnieuw aangepast na de strenge wijzigingen in de januari-update.


De downloadgrootte is net geen 4,4 GB. De gedetailleerde changelog met alle aanpassingen kan je hieronder raadplegen:
