According to EA's new blog update, the beta of Star Wars: Battlefront will include the earlier seen 20 vs. 20 Walker Assault mode in the Battle of Hoth. In case you missed it, the Walker Assault mode is a 40-player multiplayer battle featuring AT-ATs, Y-Wings Bomber strikes as well as Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker as hero characters. 

In the same blog update, EA also noted that there will be a couple of new game modes, including a new multiplayer mode called the Drop Zone, which should be revealed in the coming weeks, as well as the earlier seen co-op survival mission on Tatooine.

Unfortunaetly, EA did not announce any details regarding the precise release date or any information on how to be a part of the beta phase, but did promise that we will hear more about it soon.
