Battlefield 2042: it’s official, the game is postponed, here is the new release date

What was still a rumor earlier today has just been officially confirmed: Battlefield 2042 will not be released on October 22, 2021 as planned, but sees its release date pushed back by several weeks, for November 19, 2021 to be exact. . In a message published on its various social networks, Electronic Arts DICE and the other studios working on the game explain that they need a small month of additional development to complete the game in the best possible conditions. This schedule delay is explained by the COVID effect which forced developers to work from home, which necessarily complicated the task. The rumor was first emitted by Jeff Grubb, reporter at VentureBeat, who began to circulate the information on Twitter talking about a major game, without mentioning the name. A few hours later, he will confirm on his Discord that it is indeed Battlefield 2042. It is then another insider, Tom Henderson, who confirmed the postponement, explaining that it will be just a few weeks in more and not a postponement to 2022 as suggested by other sounds of the bell. It is therefore on November 19, 2021 that the game will arrive in stores, 15 days after Call of Duty Vanguard, its great rival.
