The multiplayer shooter Star Wars Battlefront will enter beta in early October for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The dates are now known.
Some German gaming magazines have written a bit prematurely that the beta starts on October 1. They seem to have taken “early October” quite literally. They are off by a week.
When does the beta for Star Wars Battlefront start and who can participate? How do you sign up?
The beta for Star Wars Battlefront starts on October 8 and lasts until October 13. The exact times for Germany will be announced later.
The download size for consoles is 7 GB. For PC, it is 11 GB. No registration is necessary. You do not need to sign up for the beta.
These 3 modes are playable during the beta of Star Wars Battlefront
The three modes playable are Walker Assault on Hoth, Drop Zone on Sullust and Survival Mission on Tatooine.
- The Survival Missions are only available to the Rebellion, where you fight against waves of Imperials. This is the part of the beta that will also be available in offline mode, such as in couch co-op.
- Walker Assault is currently the best-known mode in the XXL format, where dogfights take place in the air, infantry captures tactical objectives, and the massive walkers stride across the fields like furious steel giants.
- The new mode Drop Zone has not been seen so far. It is an 8-on-8 opportunity, dynamic and cleverly designed.
Companion App Base Command also celebrates its debut
In addition to the beta, they want to try the “Star Wars Companion App,” a mix of mini-game, social platform, and statistic output. There is a “strategic card game” called Base Command, where you can earn credits, customize character equipment and appearance, and connect and keep in touch with friends.
About a month after the end of the beta, Star Wars Battlefront will be released, officially starting on November 17.
