Star Wars Battlefront Gets A Beta In October

Electronic Arts has announced that due to a lot of fan requests a beta for Star Wars Battlefront will be coming to console and PC this October.

PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC Gamers will be able to test out the 40 player Walker Assault, which takes place on the planet Hoth, where players will be able to step into the shoes of Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader



Also on offer will be the two man Survival Mission that takes place on Tatooine, which will pit two rebels to survive wave after wave of imperial soldiers.



In addition to those two modes, a brand-new mode will be available in the Beta, Drop Zone, with more details coming in the following weeks. As part of the Star Wars Battlefront Beta we are also happy to reveal the Star Wars Battlefront Companion experience.

Available during the Beta, 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 app will be available on Web, iOS and Android when the game releases.
