This is not the first leak about Star Wars Battlefront 2 and this will not be the last one. We embrace them all, yet consider yourselves warned since this is just a leak.
We know that there will be a single-player mode along with multiplayer, we know the story, we know about pre-order and Deluxe Edition, we know that there will be no DLC Season Pass. We’ve seen the brand new screenshots and the trailer of Star Wars Battlefront 2. If you are missing one or two, you can visit here and here.
Lastly, we’ve learnt that Star Wars Battlefront 2 multiplayer beta is coming in October. Thanks to redditor Some_Info, we now have detailed information on upcoming beta. Of course, some spoilers included, so consider yourselves warned once again. Here is what Some_Info says:
- Maps: Galactic Assault on Theed (40 players), Space Battles on Fondor (24 players), Strike on Takodana plus. 1.1 Your beloved Skirmish that will be called Arcade or something like that. Will containSolo, Split and CO-OP – up to two players.
- Heroes: Same ones from EA Play
- Platforms: PC, Xbox 1, PS4
- LAAT – should be the surprise vehicle you may see (it will go round and round like the U-Wing from Scariff)
- Size: 14-16 GB
- 5-9 emotes for soldiers (not sure if heroes will have emotes in beta)
- You will earn credit and collect cards for the troopers but the credit will be lost at the end of the beta.
- Graphic – a little improvement over E3.
This is clearly more than we can hope for. We have 40-player Galactic Assault map on Theed, 24-player Space Battles map on Fondor and also one on Takodana.
Also, redditor ensures us that graphics are improved since E3 2017 which is exciting news. Heroes will be the same from EA Play event and will launch on every platform except Nintendo Switch.
The game will hit PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on November 17. We will be back with more detailed news about Star Wars Battlefront 2. Stay tuned!
