EA extends Star Wars: Battlefront II open beta test to October 11

Don’t cry, Jedi, Sith, Stormtroopers, Smugglers, and Battle Droids. EA announced today that it is extending the open beta test for Star Wars: Battlefront II, which it had planned to end today, to Wednesday, October 11.

Battlefront II releases on November 17 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Beta tests give studios a way to test a game with actual players before it comes out. But these beta also serve as marketing tools. It’s like a demo that can give people a chance to try the game and potentially spread buzz. Extending a beta like this can also garner some goodwill.
