Star Wars Battlefront Beta Kicks Off October 8
The open Star Wars Battlefront beta takes you to a galaxy far, far away in just a couple of weeks. EA has announced the dates you’ll be able to help test the game’s online services.
The beta begins on October 8 and will run through October 12. During the beta, you’ll also be able to try the companion app.
For the testing phase, you’ll need to do this on the official website. It will include the Base Command strategic card game, which allows players to earn credits for in-game Star Cards and other Battlefront items.
For more on what you can expect from the beta, check out our previous coverage.
Our Take
I've not been particularly excited by what I've seen and played of Battlefront, but that isn't going to stop me from giving it a fair shake during the beta. It's Star Wars, after all.
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.
