"Star Wars: Battlefront's" third DLC, "Death Star," will be arriving in September. This will reportedly bring in good stuff to the games, including Chewbacca, Luke Skywalker's infamous Red Five X-wing fighter, new weapons and a few more.

Chewbacca is one of the most requested heroes that fans want to see arrive in the game. Now, he can join his longtime friend and currently available hero, Han Solo. Chewie will also be joined by one of the most feared bounty hunters in the galaxy, Bossk, the official announcement states.

The company also posted on Twitter its announcement, with a caption that says, "RT if you're excited to pilot an X-wing in a trench run on the Death Star!"

Additionally, gamers will be experiencing a multi-stage level design map, which gives different mission parameters at every level. Brand-new vehicles, weapons and Star Cards are also expected to arrive once the expansion pack arrives. Game N Guide reported that the Red Five X-Wing of Luke and Darth Vader's TIE Advanced x1 might be included and will come as a surprise for the fans.

Space combat is also possible with the upcoming expansion pack.

The "Death Star" DLC will be enjoyed two weeks in advance by season pass holders, which means that everybody else will have it by October.

Meanwhile, the company also announced the title of the fourth digital expansion, "Rogue One: Scarif," slated to be released during this holiday season. It will also be enjoyed two weeks earlier by season pass holders.

The announcement was first made during the "Star Wars" Celebration held in Europe, hosted by Warwick Davis.

The "Death Star" DLC for "Star Wars: Battlefront" is scheduled to arrive in September.
