We've made the decision to shift the launch of Battlefield 2042. The game will now be released worldwide on November 19th, 2021.
Building the next generation of Battlefield during a global pandemic has created unforeseen challenges for our development teams. Given the scale and scope of the game, we had hoped our teams would be back in our studios together as we move towards launch. With the ongoing conditions not allowing that to happen safely, and with all the hard work the teams are doing from home, we feel it is important to take the extra time to deliver on the vision of Battlefield 2042 for our players.
Your enthusiasm for the game has been very inspiring. We believe in the game we're making, and we thank you for your patience as we put some finishing touches into the experience.
Updates on the Open Beta will be coming later this month.

No SP Campaign means a very hard pass for me, first time I've had absolutely no interest in a BF game.....
but BOTS bots means its the first BF game thats good since the *ACTUALLY 2nd game* not the game called the 2nd game
But hopefully they'll fix the major problems before launch, it seems every game now needs few patches to make playable.
I'd love tp be proven wrong but I'm not holding my breath. Seems like my decision of waiting for beta instead pre-ordering on impulse was the right decision. Damn! What a damned word to get hung up on.
As for SP, I do not play, and have never ever played COD or BF games online, preferring to play SP campaigns, again, that's just me and my preference. The SP campaigns can be long, or short, extremely good, or rather meh, I don't care, as long as I get to play in SP mode. Again, that's just me being me, and my preference. You guys love MP online mode, more power to you!
