With Battlefield 2042 getting delayed, its early access and open beta dates also shifted around. There’s no official word on when the open beta starts now, but rumors suggest it’s coming in early October, GameSpot  reported Thursday.

According to Tom Henderson, an industry insider, Battlefield 2042’s early access beta might begin on Oct. 6, with open beta following soon after on Oct. 8. Keep in mind that these dates are only rumors until publisher Electronic Arts releases the time periods for beta access itself —which they are doing soon. 

“New dates for the Open Beta will be shared later this month,” Adam Freeman, lead community manager at EA, said on Twitter. “We likely won’t share those dates today, or tomorrow – and I’ll give you further heads up next week.”

Guess we’ll find out next week for sure if those rumored dates for the betas are correct. Henderson did confirm that early access for the actual final release of Battlefield 2042 is coming on Nov. 12, though.

Thanks to everyone who have sent their messages of support this past 12 hours or so – it's deeply appreciated by all of us on the team 💛 #BATTLEFIELD

I'll be helping to answer questions as we move towards November 19th. To help clarify on the below

Henderson went on to mention that EA is still in the process of updating release information for the game across multiple platforms and storefronts, so it’s likely that more information is still up in the air.
