Battlefield 2042’s open beta was originally scheduled to happen in September, although no specific date had been set. The release date delay announcement mentioned that “updates on the open beta will be coming later this month.” Venturebeat’s Jeff Grubb first tweeted about a rumoured delay to a major videogame earlier today, before reportedly mentioning via Discord that the game he was referring to was Battlefield 2042. DualShockers’ writer Tom Henderson then tweeted that the game would be “delayed by several weeks and not months.” Brendan saw Battlefield 2042 back in July, and what he was shown was most interesting to me for the Battlefield Portal mode. It lets you mix-and-match units, vehicles and weapons from different eras of Battlefield into custom games, and lets you pit - for example - a team of Bad Company 2 soldiers against a team of Battlefield 1942 soldiers. It sounds a laugh.
