Rather than offering entry out to pre-order customers only, EA DICE is opening up the forthcoming Star Wars: Battlefront Beta to everybody.
Community manager Mathew Everett confirmed the news in a recent community update, and clarified that the Beta would feature both online and offline play, including co-op and split-screen. Walker Assault mode on Hoth will be playable, as will Drop Zone on Sullust and cop-op Survival on Tatooine.
“Now that we have officially announced the beta, most of you are just itching to know how you can get in,” writes Everett. “Well, we’re excited to say that the beta is open to everyone! Get ready for the beta release date and also make sure your system is ready to download the beta the moment it goes live. Keep your eyes peeled for myself and many other developers during the live beta as we have some cool stuff planned.”
No word on when the Beta will drop, but Star Wars: Battlefront itself will release this November 17.
