'Star Wars: Battlefront' live beta update: Electronic Arts urges gamers not to use fake beta registration sites
The live beta and possibly, free public beta, for "Star Wars: Battlefront" is only a few weeks away, and now, game publisher, Electronic Arts, has warned eager fans to watch out for fake websites and stressed out to not register on those links.
Last week, Sept. 2, EA Community Manager Mathew Everett, took to Reddit to inform every eager fan of the game about the fake sites that offer access to the live beta, according to GameSpot. Unfortunately, the official website is still not accepting registrations, as of the moment, but they will most likely start the process weeks before the expected date.
"Registration has not been made available yet. Do not be fooled by fake beta sign-up sites. Our beta registration will be live on our official site here: starwars.ea.com I will also be sure to post a link once it is available," Everett wrote in their official post on "Star Wars'" Reddit.
The live beta of "Star Wars: Battlefront" is expected to be up and running by early October. Sadly, EA still has yet to announce any specific date. Fans who will participate will most likely get to have the chance to experience the 40-player game mode, Walker Assault. Other modes that are available during the beta are Survival mode, where players will have to survive the round by preventing the opposing team, the Empires, from advancing. Lastly, another mode that's going to be playable during the beta is the mysterious Drop Zone. No word yet from EA on what this mode is about.
"Star Wars: Battlefront" live beta will available on next gen consoles, Microsoft's Xbox One and on Sony's PlayStation 4, as well as on the Windows PC platform. The publisher still hasn't disclosed the details on how to participate, as well as, whether a pre-order is required or not. The game is set for launch later this year, Nov. 17.
