In an announcement made earlier this Star Wars Battlefront sequel was also mentioned, a game which would feature more tie-ins to the newer movies.

The Battlefront community hasn’t exactly rolled out the red-carpet for Outer Rim, and apparently there’s still some resentment lingering around regarding the price of the expansion pack and the fact that – according to many – such content should’ve been included in the original release.
