A multiplayer beta for Star Wars: Battlefront 2 will take place in October on PC and consoles, EA today confirmed.

Those who’ve pre-ordered the title will gain access to the beta on 4 October, joined by everyone else on 6 October. The beta runs until 9 October.

As part of the beta, players will take part in 40-player battles on Naboo’s Theed, playing as the Separatist droid army or Republic clone troopers. Four classes — assault, heavy, office and specialist — will be available.

Also on offer is another mode called Starfighter Assault, a vehicle-based battle.

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 heads to Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4 on 17 November.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
