'Star Wars Battlefront' Outer Rim DLC Update Will Introduce Spectator Mode, According to Report

The upcoming "Star Wars Battlefront" Outer Rim DLC will introduce a new spectator mode, a new report has found out. The new mode will arrive with a title update on Tuesday and will be free to all players.

This little bit of information was included in a news release that accompanied the release of the DLC's gameplay trailer (below), according to Polygon. The spectator mode wasn't included in previous teases which allowed fans a glimpse of the new "Hutt Contracts" missions series, new weapons, and increased level cap.

EA shared the new gameplay trailer for "Star Wars Battlefront" Outer Rim DLC last week. The video showed a sneak peek at what's coming wit the new add-on content. The new Extraction mode and the two new heroes Greedo and Nien Nunb were also highlighted in the footage. With the Rodian bounty hunter now available, players can recreate the famous Cantina sequence.
