With "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" about to hit theaters next week, it means it's time for Star Wars Battlefront II to come hard with the tie-in content. And that tie-in content involves two of the new trilogy's lead characters, as well as some new locations based on the latest movie.

Finn will join the Resistance side, while Captain Phasma will join the battle on behalf of the First Order. The Last Jedi season kicks off this week, as players will be able to choose to side with either the Resistance or the First Order for weekly faction challenges. They'll be able to earn rewards, while Finn and Phasma will become available next week.

Next week will also see the debut of new multiplayer maps. Crait will be available for Galactic Assault, while D'Qar will open up for Starfighter Assault. Tallie's RZ-A2 A-Wing can also be picked up during Starfighter Assault games after next week.

Finally, Iden Versio's story will continue, as the Battlefront II campaign receives its next chapter.

All of these additions are free for Battlefront II owners and are set to arrive on Wednesday, December 13. More details can be found on the Battlefront II website and in the trailer below.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
