Update ( 3:20 PM EDT): Shortly after the EA Origin leak, Battlefield 2042's beta dates and official details were officially announced by EA and DICE, confirming the details of the leak. In Escape from Tarkov, players are assigned an extraction point on the other side of the map, and must fight against other players and AI enemies in order to reach that point and escape with their collected loot. The leaked October open and Early Access beta dates for Battlefield 2042 have possibly been confirmed by Electronic Arts via the Origin API. I don’t have specifics on what those would be…”Īccording to details previously shared on social media by community dataminer the mode will have players battling AI enemies and fighting to reach extraction points without losing their loot. “There’s one-life permadeath during these matches and then you have randomised mission parameters that you need to accomplish during each mission,” he said, “and it’s got big, in-world obstacles that happen dynamically, like weather events I think… then there are major hazards that happen as well. Battlefield 2042, the latest gigantic warfare entry from EA and DICE, arrives on PC, PS4, PS5 and Xbox later this year. The reporter said that the mode – which is yet to be detailed by EA – would be based around squad-based missions collecting intel, while battling against other player squads as well as AI opponents. While this may not be the solid date we were hoping for, its still good news. Grubb also shared information on Battlefield’s Hazard zone on Thursday, which appears to partially corroborate a previous leak claiming that it would play similarly to Escape from Tarkov. At EA Play Live, the developer confirmed that Battlefield 2042s open beta will take place sometime in September. EA Play members and customers who pre-order any version of the game will receive early access to the open beta.

Electronic Arts has previously confirmed that Battlefield 2042’s open beta will launch in September, but has yet to give an official date. Battlefield 2042 has been officially announced, and it will arrive on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4 and Xbox One on November 19.
