True to recent rumours, Battlefield 2042 has indeed been delayed- but only by less than a month. It will now launch in November.
Several reports claim that DICE's upcoming first person shooter is going to be delayed, either to later in the year or to 2022.
No campaign more and pricing on current-gen consoles aside, there's plenty to worry about in DICE's biggest Battlefield yet.
Webster Mackay, Maria Falck, Pyotr "Boris" Guskovsky, and Wikus "Casper" van Daele showcase their skills in the latest trailer.
New details and screenshots from the game can be found on its Play Store page. EA has previously said the mobile shooter is planned for 2022.
Insider Tom Henderson reports that the beta is coming much later in the month. It was announced to be starting on September 4th for pre-orders.
A listing on Italian retailer Media World suggests that the beta for Battlefield 2042 is set from September 6 to September 11.
Early access listings of the game's beta have started popping up, though an official announcement for the same hasn't yet been made.
DICE's Battlefield 2042 will be bundled with GeForce RTX desktops and laptops while supporting Nvidia DLSS and Reflex.
Battlefield 4's Kimble "Irish" Graves will be a playable Specialist in the upcoming shooter and focuses on protecting his squad-mates.
A warning issued by EA states that players who share screenshots and videos of Battlefield 2042's closed test will be banned from the full game.
Newly datamined details suggest that the shooter's third multiplayer experience is going to be inspired by the likes of Escape from Tarkov and Hunt: Showdown.
Kimble "Irish" Graves stars in the new short film, which explains how full-blown war erupted between the different factions.
Multiplayer shooters have been plagued by widespread issues with cheating of late, and it seems DICE is taking measures against that.
What started out as a disappointing disaster has gradually morphed into a game worthy of the name it carries.
"You're going to hear a lot more over the next couple of months about Battlefield live services, in-game monetization, and so forth," says EA chief financial officer Blake Jorgensen.
Andrew Wilson fields a question about how frequent Battlefield releases could be in the coming years.
Some leaked requirements show that the specs for the upcoming shooter won't be too demanding, though it's unclear what the targets are.

Pre-loading begins on September 3rd with players who pre-ordered receiving early access on September 4th. The beta ends September 11th.
