The Star Wars Battlefront beta is upon us, ladies and gentlemen, and with the bout of testing swinging its doors open for all users across PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC today, October 8, early adopters are really taking DICE’s licensed title out for a test spin.

Indeed, some Reddit users – namely TheeUberMedic and radgamerdan – have taken the trial run one step further by unearthing some details hidden within the shooter’s source files. While these remain unconfirmed for now, the eagle-eyed PC users have located voice files for Han Solo, Princess Leia and The Emperor, which are said to be buried in the file directories, along with something called the Hero Hunt – an unannounced mode, perhaps?

Early signs indicate that the files could foreshadow an all-encompassing Hero battle within Star Wars Battlefront, opening up a mode where players solely play as one of the series’ more iconic characters, as opposed to unlocking them as an in-match perk. Again, this remains unverified at the time of going to press, but we’ll keep you posted across the course of the game’s ongoing beta.

Currently live across all platforms, EA and DICE have confirmed that the Star Wars Battlefront beta will continue from today, October 8, right though the weekend until Monday, October 12. It’ll release in earnest on November 17, and you can assess whether your rig can handle the visually stunning shooter by consulting the official PC specifications below.
