Will bf2042 be delayed?
(changed title to reflect conversation better) - Atic
@Penmous Now it's official confirmed, Battlefield 2042 launch will be delayed!
It'll now release worldwide on November 19th.
For early access on November 12th.
Greets,
Travis
who? 🤔
how does some off-hand comment like, "many games will be delayed this year" translate to BF being delayed until December and Beta being a hot mess? 🤔
as far as we know testing is on schedule and the release date has been announced .. I really don't understand where all these "delays" r coming from.
seems like pure speculation to me .. ima wait for official announcements and base my expectations on that.
if they announce a delay we can speculate about how long it will be or something, but there has been no indication so far that it will be delayed afaik.
I assure u there is more than 15 seconds of gameplay . . just relax and wait for the announcements
if it does get delayed that is a good thing imo .. that means they found problems that need to be addressed before launch and they r taking care of them.
i would much rather have a short delay than a rush job that isn't really ready for release
but, like i said, we have no reason to believe that there will be delays at this point.

Still it would be nice to have some information one way or another. It's been 2 months of complete silence with less than 2 months to go from release. There's no official word of delay but there's no official word of progress either.
They announced a release date .. why would u assume that means they r making no progress? 🤔
Do u really expect daily status reports? .. R they supposed to constantly reassure people they r working on the game?
They r really busy right now with testing and making sure the game is as ready as it can be for release.
Beta is coming soon, we just don't have a specific date yet.
Stop being so pessimistic guys. If they start announcing delays, then u can get all worked up because then u would have some grounds. At this point all I have heard is groundless speculation about delays. You're getting all worked up over nothing. Just stay calm and have a little patience .

... They wouldn't be able to delay it without a release date. That's why it is called a delay.
we are all speculating. So all comments towards this topic are off handed no?
Will it be delayed? Who knows? I hope not but my gut says it will be.
Is it fair to say that factually the initial testing schedule got delayed?
The original EA-communicated technical playtest dates were delayed. Can recall that we had some discussions on that subject in early spring 2042. But cannot recall now the original days. But think it was like 6-8 weeks in total it finally got delayed, but maybe somebody online here can recall the exact original dates and delays?
And the second time around, the technical playtesting that was scheduled for crossplay 2 weeks ago was cancelled for Playstation entirely. So no testing of that have been done out on the open network with a larger test population. No matter how we want to twist that around, that is not a good sign, as PS is still the biggest platform for the BF franchise.
Now we are scheduled to 'soon' do the 'pre-load' of BF2042 down to our platforms from around aka September 3rd, and ideally the early access should be granted 1-3 days later at the max. So we will pretty 'soon' now really see if anything is truly being delayed or not. With official full launch in October, then time has run out for more excuses.
The BF2042 gameplay that we will or we will not be able to get on our local screens in September as part of early access/open beta will be the ultimate testimonial.
