For all of you mourning the closing of the Beta, you can dry those milky star-streamed tears. Electronic Arts have announced on the Star Wars Battlefront II Event Page that the Beta has been extended until 12 October 2017.

The page does not elaborate as to why it has been extended by a few more days, but I am sure many of you Beta players out there don't really care, as long as you get to enjoy it a bit more.

This extension is valid across all available platforms, namely PS4, PC and Xbox One. There are four modes available in the Beta, namely Galactic Assault, Starfighter Assault, Strike, and Arcade, of which the first three are online multiplayer.
