Players will be able to dive into the past of the Star Wars universe with the upcoming DLC release of The Han Solo Season for Star Wars Battlefront II. Beginning June 12, fans can make the famous Kessel Run themselves with the new content, using Alden Ehrenreich’s Han Solo and Donald Glover’s Lando Calrissian to get the job done. Furthermore, players can also use the Millennium Falcon during Lando’s time as captain with L3-37 acting as co-pilot. Check out the trailer and details below…

Welcome to the Coaxium Mines of Kessel
Completing the infamous Kessel Run in 12 parsecs is no small feat for a smuggler, and now you’ll get to visit the notorious planet yourself. It’s not for the faint-hearted though – conditions are harsh, and the Galactic Empire is heavily invested in the local supply of the highly sought after coaxium.
Bring your blaster and delve into the mines in a variety of game modes – a hectic round of Blast, the tactical Hero Showdown, Heroes vs Villains, or this season’s fresh Extraction mode – as this location debuts in Star Wars Battlefront II.
Deliver the Goods in Extraction
Hold on, we’re receiving some intel on another high-risk mission in the Outer Rim. In Extraction, an infiltration squad must retrieve and escape with a critical payload while fending off enemy forces. Players will join as either attackers or defenders in this asymmetrical and intense mode.
So halt the goods being delivered to the Millennium Falcon in the winding mines of Kessel – or push your way through Jabba’s Palace before time runs out – when Extraction arrives on June 12.
Pilot Lando’s Millennium Falcon
For the first time in Star Wars Battlefront II, you can pilot Lando’s Millennium Falcon** prior to when Han Solo won it in a game of sabacc. Engage the trusty droid companion L3-37 as your co-pilot, make roaring TIE fighters drop like flies, and activate the coaxium injection boost to get away before anyone knows what’s happening. Make sure to give it a spin – it packs quite the punch!
Arrive to Battle in Style
By hanging around with law-benders and thieves, you might be expected to look a bit rough around the edges. Live up to it with two new Appearances*** for Han Solo, and while you’re at it, gear up for some fast-paced action with Chewbacca’s stylish goggles – all carefully modelled after their looks in Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Speaking of style, Lando Calrissian dresses as the sophisticated and smooth-talking schemer that he is with two fashionable variations.
The new content will be available on June 12th for the Xbox One and Playstation 4.
A new adventure with the most beloved scoundrel in the galaxy. Through a series of daring escapades deep within a dark and dangerous criminal underworld, Han Solo meets his mighty future copilot Chewbacca and encounters the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian, in a journey that will set the course of one of the Star Wars saga’s most unlikely heroes.
Solo: A Star Wars Story features Alden Ehrenreich (Hail, Caesar!) as the famous smuggler, Donald Glover (Atlanta) as Lando Calrissian, Woody Harrelson (War for the Planet of the Apes) as Tobias Beckett, Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca, Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag) as L3-37, Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) as Qi’Ra, Thandie Newton (Westworld) as Val, Ian Kenny (Sing Street) as Rebolt, Harley Durst (Wonder Woman) as Moloch, Jon Favreau (Spider-Man: Homecoming) as Rio Durant, Paul Bettany (Avengers: Infinity War) as Dryden Vos and Warwick Davis (Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi) as Weazel.
