The partner can be online or play co-op locally via split screen on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The beta will also include one co-op mission, the Survival mission on Tatooine, that players can tackle alone or with friend. The objective appears to be controlling crashing escape pods to overcome an opponent. The Drop Zone mode is a more intimate affair with just eight players battling another eight.

The Walker Assault match will be a giant 40-player fight where Rebel players attempt to bring down AT-ATs while Empire players try to keep them on their feet. The open beta for Star Wars Battlefront includes two multiplayer competitive modes: Walker Assault on Hoth and Drop Zone on Sullust. It also goes without saying that, during the beta, players may experience outages or interruptions due to the testing nature of the event. The test will give the developers a chance to test the game's online infrastructure according to the official site. This beta will be open to everyone willing to download the beta on Origin, a PlayStation 4, or an Xbox One. The open beta is now officially dated for October 8 with an ending date on October 12.

In just two weeks, Star Wars fans will get to try their hand at DICE's Star Wars Battlefront.
