As we draw near the first Star Wars Day (May the 4th) following the epic Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens, there's no question that this year's celebration will be especially big and impressive. In anticipation of the occasion, EA announced that a bunch of bonus content will make its way to the franchise games including Star Wars: Battlefront , Star Wars: The Old Republic and Star Wars: Galaxy Of Heroes.
First, Star Wars: Battlefront is slated to deliver a free bundle of 4,444 credits for its players. The credits can be used on Star Cards, blasters, or the new Hutt Contract. As far as Hutt Contracts are concerned, Jabba the Hutt will have a new challenge on May the 4th. As per EA, " Spend 3500 to 8000 credits and complete bounties to unlock the powerful Bacta Bomb Star Card which provides a health boost to you and your allies."
For the Star Wars fans out there that haven't had the opportunity to play Star Wars: Battlefront, the Origin team will let players play the game for free for four hours, starting 11 a.m. PT, via Origin.com. However, the Origin free trial will not include the Outer Rim expansion.
Next up, EA also announced that Knights of the Fallen Empire is also available as a free trial now until May 30. Be sure to have a Star Wars: The Old Republic account to access the game.
By logging into Star Wars: The Old Republic from now until May 4, players can also collect an M4-I6 Zakuulan Astromech Droid Mini-Pet in-game. Last but least, Wars: The Old Republic will also have a Double XP event from May 3 to May 5. The event also includes Double Commendations in PvP, Double Requisitions in Starfighter and Double Legacy XP.
The final game to features new content on May 4 is Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. Double Drop Events will take place from April 30 to May 4. For May 4 only, Star Wars : Galaxy of Heroes will also give players a promotion of 25 percent more Crystals with every Crystal pack.
