Good news! You'll be able to play Star Wars: Battlefront very soon. It was announced today that the open beta for the game, which is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC will be landing on October 8th.

It will run until the 12th, meaning you will have just four days to get your fix before the November release. It seems there will be a fair bit of content in there too. In a post on the EA website, it was revealed you'll be abel to play three modes tied to maps. They will be:

Walker Assault on Hoth: Fight in 40-player battles as a Rebel to destroy the Empire's onslaught of AT-AT's by calling in Y-wing bombers. Or, side with the Empire and protect your walkers while utilizing their mighty weaponry to crush the Rebel objective.

Drop Zone on Sullust: Escape pods are crashing down and you and your team must fight to control them. With its frantic 8v8 matches, Drop Zone is sure to put your combat and strategy skills to the test.

Survival Mission on Tatooine: Play alone or with a friend via co-op or split-screen as you battle to hold off waves of Imperial forces including AT-ST's, TIE fighters, elite stormtroopers and more.

That's a fair bit of content. I hope the game doesn't over stretch its content and show too much. I enjoyed my time with it every time I've played it, and hopefully fans will too. This beta will probably go a long way to shaping opinions, so hopefully it goes well for DICE.

Enjoyed this? Please share on social media!
