It\u2019s been a bit of a wait for Battlefield 2042, especially given\u00a0the title’s\u00a0delay\u00a0to November 19<\/a>. However, if you\u2019d like to get your hands on DICE\u2019s epic shooter before that worldwide launch, then check out the upcoming open beta on October 8-9 on all platforms. However, EA Play members and anyone who has preordered the game can also access the title two days earlier, starting on October 6.\u00a0<\/p>\n

DICE\u2019s newest online shooter looks explosive in all the right ways. The game even made our list of the most anticipated games<\/a> of the holiday. In an early preview<\/a>, our own Liana Ruppert said, \u201cBattlefield 2042 truly feels like the natural next step for this franchise and a beautiful comeback for the DICE shooter. Set in the future – but not the distant future – 2042 feels exciting and forward-thinking. It feels intuitive, massive, and new. This new experience favors strategy, and while the loss of single-player is disappointing, that decision has challenged the team to be creative in how to supplement that story. With lore drops and Specialists that have an actual tale to tell, this hybrid experience doesn\u2019t offer half of an experience, it offers a new experience. And let\u2019s be real, after Battlefield 5? This series needed a revamp.\u201d<\/p>\n

In all,\u00a0Battlefield 2042<\/a>\u00a0looks like a complex yet rich multiplayer experience, but we\u2019re happy that the team was given some extra time to put\u00a0some polish on the code before it ships out the door. But don\u2019t take our word for it; you can start playing Battlefield 2024 next week and see for yourself. We can\u2019t wait to fly through a tornado in a wingsuit. We\u2019ll see you out there.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
