Electronic Arts revealed (almost) everything about the somewhat obligatory beta before its launch, including the start and end times.

There was a closed alpha recently, but that is not all: there will be an open beta, too on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, which will run between October 6 and 9. Those who preorder on PS4 can play from October 4. On the PlayStation Blog, these details were also revealed about the beta:

„Galactic Assault on Naboo: Join the Separatist droid army or the Republic Clones on the streets of Theed in massive 40 player multiplayer melees. Choose from four distinct trooper classes:

• • Assault troopers are classic flankers, pushing the line forward and advancing the front.
  • Heavy troopers use their high-powered weapons and personal body shields to take ground and hold it.
  • Officers power up their teammates with buffs and deploy remote weapons to support their allies.
  • Specialists lay traps and snipe from a distance.
  • Control beloved Star Wars heroes, pilot prequel-era vehicles, and more.

Multiplayer Starfighter Assault: […] you’ll be able to take part in an epic starfighter assault set during the original trilogy era, piloting an assortment of Star Wars’ greatest ships in an objective-based, multi-stage battle. You’ll be learning much more about starfighters in Star Wars Battlefront II at Gamescom.”

Star Wars: Battlefront II will launch on November 17 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
