EA releases a new Star Wars: Battlefront 2 beta trailer

 

Star Wars: Battlefront II’s Open Beta will be taking place between October 6th and 9th, giving gamers access to a pre-release version of the game on PS4, Xbox One and PC. 

Right now it is expected that this beta will only give gamers access to the game’s multiplayer mode though this has not been officially confirmed. No progress from this beta will carry onto the final game, with EA confirming that all game progress will be wiped at the end of the beta. 

Those who pre-order the game will receive a code that will give them early access to the beta on their chosen platform, giving them access from October 4th. This will apply to PlayStation Store, Xbox Store and Origin digital purchases, though codes will also be available from select retailers. 

In this beta, players will be able to play Assault on Naboo battle map (CLones VS Droids), the Assult on Fondor starfighter map and the Strike on Takodana map (The Resistance VS First Order). 

Buring this beta arcade mode will also be available, with couch co-op releasing as an option for this mode.
