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.

I’ll be helping to answer questions as we move towards November 19th. To help clarify on the below Early Access = 12th November https://t.co/GDwneaclZs — Freeman 🇸🇪 (@PartWelsh) September 16, 2021 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. (Source: Adam Freeman / Twitter via Game Informer)
