Star Wars Battlefront 2 multiplayer beta is coming in October

Star Wars Battlefront 2 is set to come out on November 17, but ahead of that there will be a public multiplayer beta, which EA announced today will begin on October 6, or October 4 for anyone who preorders the game. The beta will include two separate scenarios: A classic, fan-favorite Star Wars clash between Republic clone troopers and Separatist battle droids on the planet Naboo in the new Galactic Assault mode, and a deep-space throwdown between the snubfighters of good and evil in the also-new Starfighter Assault. Clips of both modes can be seen in the gameplay trailer EA released last month at E3, although the Starfighter Assault clip at the end of the trailer is almost literally a "blink-and-you-miss-it" affair; EA said more information about the mode will be revealed in August at Gamescom.

Specific start and end times haven't been announced, but the multiplayer beta is scheduled to run "through October 9. " Along with two days of early access
