EA: Battlefield 2042 Early Access Date Is Now 12 November

Electronic Arts has very recently confirmed that Battlefield 2042 has been pushed back to 19 November. At the time, video games leaker Tom Henderson claimed that this will also push back the open beta and early access dates to October. But now, it looks like it will be pushed even further back than that.

Adam Freeman, EA Europe’s community manager, has shared on Twitter that the new early access date for Battlefield 2042 has now been pushed back to 12 November. This puts it just a week before the launch of the game.

This small window makes the open beta date in a pretty precarious spot. If it retains the pattern of being two days after early access opens, this means that there will only be five days for the open beta phase of Battlefield 2042. Even if the so-called open beta is a glorified server stress test, it does feel like five days is too tight a window for anything to be done if anything does go south.

Freeman says that an exact date for the open beta will be shared later this month, which leaves things up in the air. But as it is, it does seem like the 19 November release of the game itself is quite set in stone.

Battlefield 2042 Is Now Official; Releases On 22 October

Electronic Arts has finally revealed Battlefield 2042 as it promised to. But the game is bad news for fans of the series who would like to see singleplayer content. As during the reveal, the publisher said it will be a multiplayer only game.

But for those who like large-scale PvP games, Battlefield 2042 may be one of the biggest out there once it gets released. It will feature maps big enough to hold 128 players in a match. And to keep things from being too monotonous after a while, the maps will also feature dynamic weather and other environmental hazards.

Battlefield 2042 will have three main game modes. The first is called All-Out Warfare, which is a fancier name for the older Conquest and Breakthrough, but on a much larger scale. Hazard Zone is the second, which is likely where the environmental hazards come into play. EA has not revealed what exactly the third one is, opting to only reveal it on 22 July.

As for the game’s release, Battlefield 2042 will be out on 22 October 2021. Pre-orders are already open, and those who do so will get access to an open beta. Buy any of the non-standard editions, and you’ll be able to play the game a week early, on 15 October instead.
