'Star Wars Battlefront: Death Star' DLC to include new ships and new heroes

The "Death Star" downloadable content (DLC) for "Star Wars Battlefront" is set to be released next month, and it will have some new ships and heroes coming along for the package. Players will be able to use a new ship from both the Imperial and Rebel faction, and the game will see classic space battles that the original "Battlefront" games were known for.

There are leaks claiming that the new ship that will be available for the Imperials is Darth Vader's TIE Advanced. It's said that players controlling TIE Fighters can fly near Vader, so they can have an increase in damage.

Luke's Red Five X-Wing will be available for the Rebel Alliance. This X-Wing has the special ability to repair itself as long as players have R2-D2 in the Astromech Droid cockpit.

The new heroes available for the "Death Star" expansion are Chewbacca and Bossk. Chewie's specialty comes with the use of his bowcaster, and the more people he kills, the more powerful his bowcaster becomes. Chewie also has the ability called the "Wookie Roar" which makes people frightened and disoriented. Additionally, Chewie can smash opponents at close range.

As for Bossk, the reptilian bounty hunter comes with a gun with an infra-red scope which allows him to track enemies better. He also has the ability to perform a great reptilian leap whenever he drops dioxis grenades. What's probably Bossk's best ability, is that he is able to regain health whenever he kills an enemy (Trandoshans have the ability to re-grow limbs whenever they lose them).

New skins will also be available for old heroes. Luke and Han will get stormtrooper disguise skins, and Princess Leia will have her classic white gown with hair buns harkening back to her first appearance in "Star Wars: A New Hope."

The "Death Star" DLC will be available next month for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
