According to EA, the choice is important, as it allows players to take part in "special challenges that will grant your faction specific rewards." It all starts on December 5 when players will be asked to "choose a side," by fighting alongside the First Order or the Resistance. The Last Jedi Season will bring with it new heroes, maps, vehicles, faction and weekend challenges, and even some daily challenges. Starting in December and through the remainder of 2017, Star Wars Battlefront 2 players have plenty of free content and activities to look forward to. For more on that, read our The Last Jedi review.EA has outlined four weeks of planned content, dubbed The Last Jedi Season, following the release of Star Wars Battlefront 2. The Last Jedi, meanwhile, premieres on December 15. The content will roll out at the same time across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Other new challenges and special events are also scheduled to arrive throughout the month, including a holiday playlist on December 27. The first challenge is available now and tasks players with racking up 50 kills with each trooper class. Once you choose a side, the game will present you with special, weekly faction quests over the next few weeks completing these will "help edge your faction closer to victory" and earn your side additional rewards. While most of the Last Jedi-themed content won't arrive until next week, EA kicked off the season modestly this week by letting players align themselves with either the First Order or New Republic. This puts players again in the role of Inferno Squad commander Iden Versio, this time "during the days of the First Order's rise to power." You can catch a peek at the new mission-and an older Iden-in the new trailer. Some new single-player content will also arrive as part of The Last Jedi Season, specifically a new mission called Resurrection.
