Bad, very bad news, for those who were looking forward to playing the next installment of Battlefield 2042. DICE has announced that they have definitely been forced to delay the release of the game, so it won't finally arrive before Call of Duty, but 14 days later. Will they be affected by the new date?
Battlefield 2042 is delayed
We will not have Battlefield in October. DICE has reported that, due to the current situation, the development teams are still unable to return to the studios as normal, so releasing the game on the original date of October 22 would be a nightmare. For that reason, the launch of Battlefield 2042 will be postponed until November 19th, so we will have to wait 28 more days until we can immerse ourselves in the spectacular world that they have prepared.
We have made the decision to change the release of Battlefield 2042. The game will now be released worldwide on November 19, 2021.
Building the next-gen Battlefield during a global pandemic has created some unforeseen challenges for our development teams. Given the scale and vision of the game, we hoped our teams would be able to return to the studios as we launched. With the conditions that remain that do not allow this to happen safely, and with all the hard work that teams are doing from home, we believe it is important to take some extra time to fulfill the vision of Battlefield 2042 for our players.
His enthusiasm for the game has been very inspiring. We believe in the game we're creating and thank you for your patience as we put some finishing touches on the experience.
Open Beta updates will arrive later this month.

Vanguard takes first place
The October release of Battlefield allowed DICE to take the top spot in releases and grab users' attention before anyone else. And it is that Call of duty vanguard It wasn't due to launch until November 5th, so Battlefield had plenty of time to hook users with its best weapons.
But the situation has changed. Now Activision has in its power to cajole players with the Vanguard campaign (which seems to look pretty good) and weeks later confirm the launch of the new Warzone, something that will also capture the attention of many users, especially those who They had been waiting for a new Warzone map for a long time.
We'll see if this setback doesn't take its toll on Battlefield, although taking into account the interest generated in recent months, we're sure the community won't mind waiting a few more days.
