EA and DICE are planning a late beta for Star Wars Battlefront. The duo will be dropping pre-release builds onto Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC in October.

Included in the beta are the Walker Assault mission on the icy Hoth, complete with Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker heroes. Players will also be able to team up with a friend for Battlefront’s horde mode-style survival missions. This one will take place on Tatooine.Finally, the as yet undetailed Drop Zone mode will be featured in the beta.

The Battlefront companion app for iOS and Android will be available during the beta, also. Along with in-game stats, players will be able to play a game called Base Command. Playing unlocks items in Battlefront.

Star Wars Battlefront will be out on November 17 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. For more, check out our preview from Gamescom.

Our Take
I didn’t love what I played of Battlefront at Gamescom, but I’m also aware that it needs to appeal to the widest audience of Star Wars fans possible. I hope that when it launches that it’s a satisfying game I’ll want to play for a long time, but I also recognize that fans will forgive a dip in quality because of the powerful license (and a certain upcoming film).

The game should be fun for sure! At the very least it has a lot of potential, we'll know more after the beta I guess. Any idea if its fully open or if it'll be closed then open up later?

The only thing I am mad about is that they confirmed that there won't be any spacebattles in this title (not even DLC). The best battlefront game I have played that had a great concept was Elite Squadron. The graphics were not the best due to it only being on PSP. However, the game had potential. It was the first battlefront game to have interchangeable scenarios meaning you could be on the deathstar and fight, fly out of the deathstar and take out enemy carrier ships. This happened with all levels of the game. If they brought that concept to the game, it would be magnificent.

This article, Destiny: Last Chance to Unlock This Rare Emblem, originally appeared on GameSpot.

Destiny players hoping to complete their Moments of Triumph and earn a rare reward don't have much time left to do so. As announced previously, you'll need to complete the 10 challenges below before September 9 to receive a special emblem when The Taken King launches on September 15.

To unlock some of the Moments of Triumph, you'll need Destiny's expansions. You can see all ten of the challenges below the video, with descriptions courtesy of Bungie. After September 9, the special emblem will be unattainable, though it's possible Bungie will renew this campaign for Year Two.
