With E3 2017 kicking off tomorrow with EA Play, one of the big games from the conference will be Star Wars: Battlefront II. Here are some new beta details.

As fans of the Star Wars franchise, we’re hoping that Star Wars: Battlefront II does not disappoint. In 2015, we were all kinds of excited for Battlefront, but it under-delivered on so many levels. However, at Star Wars Celebration in April, Battlefront II was officially revealed. Everything EA discussed sounds very promising, they just need deliver on those promises. We’re hopeful that they will. The best part is we get to test it out prior to its release thanks to the multiplayer beta. EA revealed some details today.

The first bit of gameplay footage will air during EA Play tomorrow. Those lucky enough to be in attendance will also be able to get some hands-on time with the game. For those watching from home and eager to try they game out, it’ll be coming to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC this fall.

If you pre-order the game, you’ll be able to test out the beta earlier than anyone else. Plus, there plenty of other goodies in store.

For one, you’ll be able to receive exclusive The Last Jedi outfits for Kylo Ren and Rey. Obviously, those probably won’t be available till after the release of the film because spoilers. It’s good to know that you’ll have them once they’re officially out, though.

You’ll also get instant access to six hero and starfighter Star Cards. These are special abilities for certain characters. For example, Rey has “Far Sight” and “Deep Mind.” We aren’t sure what these abilities will do, exactly, but they do sound pretty cool. Be sure to visit the link at the top for more details.

Star Wars: Battlefront II launches on Nov. 17, 2017.
