After a quiet period regarding the beta of Battlefield 2042, a new leak has surfaced with a release date. Allegedly, it should start next week, and we might learn more tomorrow (September 29).
What kind of leak is this? The information comes from the Chinese site Bilibili. It is a large, well-known website in China that specializes in comics, video games, and other content.
It also features livestreams. Recently, Battlefield 2042 has received its own livestream page, and during that process, a date for the beta was revealed.
When is the beta supposed to start? The beta of Battlefield is allegedly set to run from October 6 to October 9. We currently do not know to what extent the early access phase is included within this timeframe.
If the information is correct, the beta will start next week. As always, be cautious with leaks. Even if the information comes from official sources, things can still change. Until publisher EA or DICE comments on it, nothing can be considered confirmed.
However, the date aligns with previous revelations from insider Tom Henderson, who also commented on it on Twitter:
Battlefield 2042 Open Beta – Date to be revealed tomorrow
When will the announcement be made? According to Henderson, a new trailer for Battlefield along with the confirmation of the beta date is supposed to be released tomorrow, September 29.
What is the significance of the date? Currently, it’s hard to assess. The beta of Battlefield 2042 was originally supposed to be released in September, but no specific timeframe has been announced yet.
The release of Battlefield 2042 has been postponed in the meantime, which likely applies to the beta as well. EA has yet to provide an official statement on this.
Bilibili is well-known in China and also has an official page for Battlefield 2042. Thus, the leak should not be entirely unfounded.
The information also coincides with insider details from Tom Henderson, who has mentioned a similar date multiple times as the new release. Henderson has been regarded as a reliable source in the past and has been accurate with numerous revelations regarding Battlefield 2042.
Thus, the beta could potentially be released next week, and the announcement is expected tomorrow, September 29.
What would the date mean? If the timeframe mentioned by Bilibili is accurate, the beta for Battlefield 2042 would be relatively short. Early access players would have about 4 days, while other participants would have 2 days to test.
For comparison: The beta for Call of Duty: Vanguard was available for all players from September 18 to September 22. They could play for up to 4 days without a pre-order or anything similar. Initially, only 2 days were planned for the open beta, which was extended to 4 days.
What do you think about the information? Would you play the open beta? Does the supposed timeframe work for you, or do you think it’s too short? Let us know in the comments.
Recently, the community has been unsettled as there has been virtually no sign of life from Battlefield 2042 – “It’s just strange”
