DICE released a new patch for Star Wars: Battlefront today. The patch is 2.51 GB, and I expect we will find some interesting files in there just waiting to be datamined in near future.

The patch introduce many bug fixes and balance issues, but also new content such as new hero starships and Mos Eisley at night as a new map.

Check out the full patch notes below:
