Star Wars: Battlefront Open Beta Coming in October!

Battlefront 03

Great news for all gamers! You could experience the massive space battles and ground assaults for yourself before the Star Wars: Battlefront game launches in November. EA just announced a multiplayer beta for the game is coming to PS4, PC, and Xbox One in early October. The game company also revealed a new mysterious mode called Drop Zone…

 

 

From EA:

Coming early October to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and on Origin for PC, the Star Wars Battlefront Beta* is a technical test and will feature Walker Assault on Hoth, a 40-player multiplayer battle featuring Rebels and the Empire. Walker Assault will also give you the chance to play as two of the most iconic characters in the Star Wars™ universe: Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. The Beta will also feature our Survival Mission on Tatooine, where you and a Rebel friend must fight back waves of Imperial forces.

 

In addition to those two modes, we are excited to reveal a brand-new mode that will be available in the Beta, Drop Zone. We’ll be sharing more details on Drop Zone in the weeks ahead.

 

Battlefront 04

As part of the Star Wars Battlefront Beta we are also happy to reveal the Star Wars Battlefront Companion experience. Available during the Beta at www.StarWarsBattlefront.com, the Star Wars Battlefront Companion experience features the strategic card game Base Command, and lets you earn in-game Credits that unlock Star Cards, weapons, and more in Star Wars Battlefront. In addition to Base Command, the Companion also lets Rebels and Imperials alike check game stats and progression, customize load-outs and appearance, connect with friends, and get notified when they’re playing Star Wars Battlefront – as well as gather intel on their stats and progression so you can see how you match up! The Star Wars Battlefront Companion will be available on web and in the Apple App Store™ and Google Play™ store prior to the release of Star Wars Battlefront on November 17.

 

 

And the best thing about the Beta is that anyone can participate. You just need an internet connection and the appropriate hardware.

    This game needs more heroes. Luke vs. Vader (the only heroes with lightsabers) over and over again is going to get old.

    Que mal que no saquen el juego para consolas como xbox 360 o PS3 ya que me imagino que habemos muchos aún con estas 2 consolas pero bueno en fin el beneficio es solo para las empresas y no para sus usuarios. Pero apuesto que las ventas serían más si lo sacaran para esas 2 consolas

    “You just need an internet connection and the appropriate hardware,” but they still haven’t announced what the recommended system requirements are for PC.
