The potential dates for the upcoming Battlefield 2042 multiplayer beta have just been leaked online via Bilibili and Twitter. Battlefield 2042 is set to release later in 2021, but fans have been eager to get some hands-on time with the next installment in the popular FPS series.
Chinese site Bilibili has indicated to its users that the dates for the upcoming beta are October 6th through October 9th. The source appears to be credible, as the leak came directly from the website’s live stream page. Moreover, there appeared to be a Battlefield 2042 section among the categories listed on the site.
The leak was picked up by Twitter user Tom Henderson, who provided some of the above details about the listing. Henderson also suggested that just because October 9th is the final day listed on the leak does not necessarily indicate that the beta will end that day. There is some speculation by fans that some players will receive beta access earlier than others, though this is not explicitly stated by the leak itself. The leak also did not state how Battlefield 2042's crossplay will work or if it will be available for the beta.
Details about some of the specifics surrounding the beta are unclear, but Henderson points out that Battlefield 2042 has an official page on Bilibili and thus the information is legitimate. One fan even translated the Chinese text in the leak and stated that the game’s open beta would start on October 9th, giving credibility to the theory that certain players will be granted closed beta access starting on October 6th. Other fans in the Twitter thread discussed what game modes will be in Battlefield 2042 and its beta.
Regardless of the time the beta releases, many fans are excited to get their hands on the game. Even Battlefield 2042’s recent delay has not quelled player excitement. The game’s near future setting and massive 128 player matches are just a couple of features that have fans hungry and anxious. Players are also excited for the game’s approach to strategy with its series signature destructible environments and even unique perks for each available class.
Battlefield 2042 is going to have competition, but many fans believe the game will rise above its peers. A lot of players are hoping that the game’s inevitable beta will validate their feelings. Whenever the Battlefield 2042 beta drops, there is no doubt that thousands of players will flock to it to see if it holds up the standards that the Battlefield series is known for. If this leak is anything to go by, players will soon get a chance to put the game to test.
Battlefield 2042 is set to release on November 19th for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
