The good news is that if you’re curious about the game and wait for its release, you’re in luck because it has been announced that come early October, the beta for the game will be released on the PC, Xbox One, and the PlayStation 4. No specific dates were mentioned by EA, only that it will be released “early October”, so we guess we’ll just have to keep an eye out for it.
The beta will include access to the game’s 40-player mode which we can only imagine will be just as chaotic as it would be fun. Special characters such as Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker will also be available to be unlocked, along with the Survival Mission, Walker Assault, and a new mode called Drop Zone.
It is unclear if gamers need to have pre-ordered the game in order to access the beta, which is usually the case, so for now until EA says something, we can only assume that it is an open beta, which is good news if you were skeptical about the game and wanted to give it a go before pre-ordering/purchasing it. In the meantime Star Wars Battlefront has been pegged for a release on the 17th of November, about a month before the Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens movie is released.
