Can't wait for your first taste of Star Wars Battlefront? There's good news for you, then, because the first-person shooter will be landing a PlayStation 4 beta in early October. The developer's keeping many of the major details under wraps for the time being, but we do know that it'll feature three modes and will be issued as a technical test for the online-focused escapade.
The main portion of the server stress test will revolve around Walker Assault, a 40-player multiplayer battle between the Rebels and the Empire. You'll also unlock access to one of the Survival missions, in which you and a friend must bat away waves of Imperial forces, as well as a new mode named Drop Zone. More details on that are to be announced in the near future.
Publisher EA's also taken the time to reveal a new Companion Experience for the title, which will be available on phones, tablets, and the web at release. This will allow you to play a strategic card game which will enable you to unlock additional in-game content, and will be available at launch from 17th November.

great, I'll be downloading that then
How does one acquire said beta? I preordered the day it was announced.
@vegeta11 It's not really clear yet, but I've read that you'll just need to sign up to a website to get it.
Looking forward to the Beta. At the moment, the sign-up option doesn't seem to be available yet on EA's site.
I would love access to the beta. It'd be nice if they told us how we can join.
Awesome. I'll sign up for this first chance I get. I can't wait to play the game.
Hopefully they will tell us how to sign-up for the Beta soon, but will definitely sign-up as soon as I know how. It's a very good idea to run Beta's for two reasons, A) to make sure the game doesn't buckle at launch, which is a obvious one. & B) it gives a chance for people to play your game, which could lead to more sales. Looking forwards to it.
This pleases me.
This game looks great, but I don't usually play multiplayer only games. I'll give it a shot with a rental or when it is much cheaper.
I am hyper stoked for this game, I can't wait for the beta to drop!
And where is the Doom beta, geez.
I'm so chuffed but what happened to ea access get it first ? I own both consoles but I'd be pissed if I just had Xbox right now
Really looking forward to this...If I get in. I hope Sony keep this deal for future Star Wars games too.
@Spooke2k Anyone who honestly thought, that PS4 wouldn't get a beta was kidding themselves. That's why when the argument "we get to play it first came up" I kept saying "wait till october"
Great stuff beta's are great, I was never getting never mind preordering Black Ops...until I played the beta.
Don't know how I feel about a 15 wave Survival Mode, though...
@Spooke2k
The PS4 gets the beta first but the EA all acess is too play the full game a week before.
