EA has announced a Beta for the hotly anticipated Star Wars: Battlefront, because FPS Betas are just all the rage these days. It will kick off in early October across all formats.
The Beta will feature the 40-player Walker Assault mode on Hoth that dropped jaws at E3 this year, with hero characters Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader playable, plus a co-op Survival Mission on Tatooine designed for two players.
You’ll also be able to sample a previously unannounced mode called Drop Zone - about which EA DICE is keeping tight-lipped just now - and the ‘Battlefront Companion’, which is basically an app that lets you track stats and unlock new bits and piece both in and out of game.
It appears that the Beta is open to everyone, but EA hasn’t confirmed that yet. The firm says it will reveal more in the next few weeks. Star Wars: Battlefront launches this November 17.
