Star Wars Battlefront will have a beta sometime early October. The beta will be available on the XB1, PS4, and PC.

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.

Looking forward to this. I didn’t see a beta signup link on their site though.

They haven’t opened up the sign ups yet.

Interesting tease for a new mode in there as well.

5

Cool. A beta for october as well. My preorder hangs in the balance. Dice/EA betas have made me cancel my preorders on BF4 and BFH

7

Skipping the beta. I want it to be 100% fresh. I don’t want to be burnt on on one game mode or one map.

8

I’ll give it a whirl just to see how it plays and flows with a team wont overkill it. Maybe a night tops

Don’t think I’ll have any MP games in October so I’m all in.
Drop zone… I can’t think of anything relating drop pods or air assault in the sw universe.
Drop zone… Yeah I got nothing

looks like the Beta will open and so I will try it and hope the game is going to be as good as it looks .

@Audible_Silence In epsiode 4 at the beginning, C3PO and R2D2 escape in a Pod and it drops to Tatooine. Maybe it could be a moving area to hold around the map. Pod or something drops, your team tries to hold the area for a certain amount of time while the other team tries to oust your team or vice versa, then another pod drops and the battle moves to a different part of the map. I don’t know but that is my guess for now. Cheers!

Some more info. Not sure if this was already posted.

You can play the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront beta offline, EA has confirmed.

The beta includes both offline and online modes, including co-op and split-screen co-op, community chief Mathew Everett wrote on the Star Wars Battlefront website.

The beta, which kicks off early October on PC via Origin, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, includes the 40-player Walker Assault on Hoth, and Drop Zone on Sullust.

There’s also a beta Survival Mission mode, set on Tatooine, which you can play solo, with a friend online, or couch co-op.

Meanwhile, Everett confirmed the beta is open to everyone. So all can download it as soon as it’s live.

Other tidbits:

AI bots are in multiplayer. Fighter Squadron mode, which you can see in the video below, includes AI bots (10 on each side).

Players get a primary blaster weapon along with a hand of Star Cards. Players then customise their Star Card hand.

Vehicles in Star Wars Battlefront come with their own weapons and abilities and cannot be upgraded.
