The Star Wars Battlefront open beta is coming, and it's coming soon. EA announced today the beta will go live on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC starting Oct. 8 and will run until Oct. 12.
Taken from EA's official Star Wars Battlefront site, it will include the following three game modes:
Walker Assault on Hoth: Fight in epic 40-player battles as a Rebel to destroy the Empire's onslaught of AT-AT's by calling in Y-wing bombers. Or, side with the Empire and protect your walkers while utilizing their mighty weaponry to crush the Rebel objective.
Drop Zone on Sullust: Escape pods are crashing down and you and your team must fight to control them. With its frantic 8v8 matches, Drop Zone is sure to put your combat and strategy skills to the test.
Survival Mission on Tatooine: Play alone or with a friend via co-op or split-screen as you battle to hold off waves of Imperial forces including AT-ST's, TIE fighters, elite stormtroopers and more.
Players don't need to register for the beta. Come Oct. 8, it will simply be available for download, though PC players can preload the beta via Origin starting Oct. 7. The beta will be around a 7 GB download for Xbox One and PS4 players, while on PC, it will be larger at 11 GB.
EA says players can level up to level five in the beta, though stats and progression will not carry over to the full release of the game the following month. Players can also take the Star Wars Battlefront companion app for a spin during the beta period. The app includes a strategic card game called Base Command, in which players can earn Credits that will unlock weapons, "Star Cards" and more in Star Wars Battlefront. The app will also keep track of player stats and allow players to customize their stats and loadouts on the go.
Star Wars Battlefront releases on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC on Nov. 17.
