New Rumors Suggest Battlefield 2042 Could be Delayed

According to credible informants, the release of Battlefield 2042 will be delayed. Unfortunately, they do not agree on the new release date.

The video game industry is not doing well this year. Despite a few interesting releases (like Psychonauts 2 or 12 Minutes), the lack of big AAA productions is painfully noticeable. The situation was supposed to be saved by Dying Light 2, planned for December, but unfortunately, it was unexpectedly delayed. This encouraged journalists to speculate which upcoming title will be next. Everything indicates that it will be Battlefield 2042. The speculation began with a post by Jeff Grubb (a well-known insider) on Twitter:

Grubb was quickly joined by other renowned industry experts - the youtube channel Dealer_Gaming and XboxEra's Shpeshal_Nick. The former, citing his sources, announced that Battlefield 2042 is not coming until next year. Shpeshal, on the other hand, was more optimistic, betting on this year's pre-Holiday period. So far, Nick's leaks have often turned out to be accurate - such as the one about the Dead Space remake.

For now EA has not commented on the matter. I also hay yet to announced the launch date of the open beta. That's why the delay seems quite probable. How will the matter develop further? We'll find out in a few days. According to the schedule, Battlefield 2042 is to be released on October 22 on PC, Xbox Series S|X, PS5 and Xbox One and PS4.
