A surprise DLC for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is now live and it brings new cosmetics, a battle grid, and combat challenges to the game.
This free DLC update was revealed in a trailer from developer Respawn today as part of the Star Wars ‘May the Fourth’ celebration. The Jedi: Fallen Order DLC unlocks cosmetics and new combat challenges that can be accessed through meditation points. These challenges take place on different planets featured in the game like Illum and Kashyyyk. You can check out the trailer below.

As you can see, the combat challenges are wave-based arena challenges that will see protagonist Cal Kestis face off against a number of foes found throughout the game’s story. If the trailer is any indication, it won’t be just creatures found in the game but bounty hunters as well.

The challenges also include unique parameters like “no healing” and “take no damage.” Launching alongside these combat challenges is a new Battle Grid system that allows you to create your own challenges by placing enemies on a grid for you to fight against.
New cosmetic rewards are available in the game, too, including the Inquisitor Cal appearance and lightsaber color. This update is available to download now.
