Wave Four Deployment - Friday 21 November
On Friday 21 November, Wave Four of the KYBER Beta Playtest will go live.
12,000 players will join the Beta Playtest to bolster our efforts and ensure KYBER is ready for release.
This is a key moment in KYBER development - it will determine if it is ready for the full, free launch. Expect plenty of updates, exciting new content, and fresh experiences.
Over 80,000 of you applied for a chance to join the Beta Playtest.

Mods & Content
Mods & Content is the new home of Battlefront modding on Discord.
Simplified, secured, and friendly - KYBER is the go-to place for modding.
Discover new dedicated spaces for mod development, events, and Squad Up! on Discord. Access these topics by assigning the 'Mods & Content' role to yourself in the Channels & Roles menu.
STAR WARS Battlefront II survives if we view it as a platform for building new experiences - a community-led endeavour that aims to build the experiences we want, that AAA mega-publishers won't.
To realise the game's full potential, we must look beyond its humble roots as a simple shooter and see it for what it is: a STAR WARS sandbox ripe with opportunity for grand new experiences, designed and developed by its own players.
Never before has a game's community been handed such freedom to shape its own identity.
We must take this opportunity to secure the future of the STAR WARS Battlefront franchise.
Events & Squad Up
Events & Squad Up! is the new home of all things multiplayer.
Casual experiences, immersive horrors, to ranked tournaments - you can find it all here.
Jediexe, well-known event host and modder, has joined the KYBER Community Team as Event Coordinator. With plenty of experience in this field and the freedom KYBER offers modders, we're very excited to see what the future holds.
Whether you want to hang out in immersive Co-op, torment players in Hunt, or battle for control of the galaxy in ranked versus - you can find it all on KYBER for STAR WARS Battlefront II.

project.GLACIER
GLACIER is a highly experimental program that aims to replicate the Frostbite Engine data pipeline. Intended to fully replace the Frosty Editor, its high-level approach will allow mod developers to side-step intensive manual work, so they can focus on actual content production and technical cooperation.
The goal with GLACIER is to eliminate time-consuming manual work by replicating an environment similar to one the game developers worked with, enabling the creation of game-optimised content with reasonable efficiency.
project.GLACIER needs additional maintainers to continue its mission. The source code contains useful tools and information for mod developers and is a solid foundation to build upon.
The full source code and instructions are available on GitHub.
Next Time
Stay tuned for a post dedicated to Reverse Engineering in STAR WARS Battlefront II.
