With AT-ATs and AT-STs (which you can commandeer if you stumble upon an upgrade) making their clunky advances, snowy Rebel and Imperial troops exchanging a lot of pew pew and A and X-Wings and TIE fighters having looping dogfights, this is pure STAR WARS euphoria. Unlike previous titles where one would spawn in the hangar and jump into a fighter, this time you have to get lucky and chance upon a floating upgrade to have access to vehicles which you then manually deploy. Of course we’ve seen this map in a previous Battlefront title, but never this good. This stage is completely epic and a wonderful realization of the iconic scene. Hmmmm.Maintain your defences and fight off Vader and his army. Looking forward to the Star Wars Battlefront beta, or have you got no interest in nerding out with X-Wings and AT-ATs? Down to the comments, you must go, a comment, you should leave. There’s also a companion app card game of sorts that will be getting a test during the beta, but we don’t think too many people will really care for a card game when stormtroopers and Rebel scum are fighting it out. 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. With its frantic 8v8 matches, Drop Zone is sure to put your combat and strategy skills to the test. Or, side with the Empire and protect your walkers while utilizing their mighty weaponry to crush the Rebel objective.ĭrop Zone on Sullust: Escape pods are crashing down and you and your team must fight to control them. Walker Assault on Hoth: Fight in epic 40-player battles as a Rebel to destroy the Empire’s onslaught of AT-AT’s by calling in Y-wing bombers.

There will be three game modes available during the beta, all three of which are detailed below. The beta client will also take up around 7GB of hard drive space, so if you’re already close to bursting point you’ll want to clear that space now and be ready for when the day comes. The beta will be a fairly short one that runs until October 12th, so be sure to make the most of it while you can. Ready your lightsabers, folks, for we’re about to get out first taste of DICE’s Star Wars Battlefront via a beta taking place early next month.ĮA has announce over on its official Star Wars games blog that the beta, which is being referred to as a technical test, will be hitting PS4, Xbox One and PC (via Origin) on October 8th.
