EA today advised of a beta for Star Wars: Battlefront.
The beta will include a 40-player mode called “Walker Assault” alongside a new mode called “Drop Zone”.
“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,” EA said. “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.”
Moreover, the game will receive a companion app at the beta’s launch.
“As part of the Star Wars Battlefront Beta we are also happy to reveal the Star Wars Battlefront Companion experience. ” EA continued.
“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.”
No specific beta date has been named.
Star Wars: Battlefront will be available from 17 November on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.
