Star Wars Battlefront Beta Extended By a Day

If you weren't able to give Star Wars: Battlefront a test drive during its open beta test last weekend you're in luck; because EA has decided to extend the testing period by one more day.

In a post on the official Battlefront website, community manager Sledgehammer70 said that the team wanted to 'conduct further technical tests on infrastructure.'

He writes:

'These additional tests will start on Monday, October 12 and will run thru Tuesday, October 13th, which will add an additional day to the open Beta. These tests are to help us find some extreme scenarios, and that means some players may experience occasional issues such as being kicked from the game or losing connectivity. This is all being done in the name of shoring up our infrastructure before we launch on November 17th.'

The beta started last week on October 8, 2015. Available on Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC. The small playable slice is open to everyone and can be downloaded by going to your respective platform's online storefronts.

The beta comes with three playable modes.

  • 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. Or, side with the Empire and protect your walkers while utilizing their mighty weaponry to crush the Rebel objective.
  • Drop Zone on Sullust:Escape pods are crashing down and you and your team must fight to control them. With its frantic 8v8 matches, Drop Zone is sure to put your combat and strategy skills to the test.
  • 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.

If you haven't tried it out, you better act fast.
