Check Your Email For Star Wars Battlefront Alpha Invitations
If you registered for the Star Wars Battlefront PC Alpha, check your email. EA has started sending out invitations.
The alpha test is scheduled to begin on Thursday, July 2 at 2 a.m. Pacific / 5 a.m. Eastern. EA plans to shut things down for this round of testing on Monday, July 6, at the same time.
If you get selected, you’ll need to download Origin to participate. The client is available for download now, so you if you get an invitation, you’ll want to pre-load it so you’re ready for when the servers open.
EA has non-disclosure strictures in place, so there is unlikely to be footage that lasts long online (if it appears at all). The company warns that violation of the NDA may result in forfeiture of the user’s Origin account.
If you have a golden ticket in your mailbox, have fun this weekend. For more on Star Wars Battlefront, check out our coverage from E3.
Thanks to reader Derek for the images and the tip.
Our Take
As tempted as you might be to share footage, know that there are severe consequences if it’s traced back to you. Also, I might be a little jealous. Have fun.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
