Description:
Battlefield 2042 is rumored to be delayed to November, which would put EAs upcoming first-person shooter in the same release window as Call of Duty: Vanguard.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Battlefield 2042s October 22 release date is rumored to be delayed,
according to reports from game insiders. However, Battlefield fans shouldnt worry too much, as the release date is set to slip back by a few weeks,
rather than months.

GamesBeats Jeff Grubb was the first to hint at an imminent delay of a
singular major upcoming game release , which he later revealed was
Battlefield 2042 on his Discord . Grubbs claims have since been backed up by notable Battlefield insider Tom Henderson, who tweeted that Battlefield 2042 is to be delayed by several weeks, with a release date around late November being hinted at.

Developer EA Dice remains quiet about the dates of Battlefield 2042s open beta, which is set to arrive in September. But with two weeks left of September remaining, and still no word from Dice, Battlefield 2042s delay seems ever more likely - however the developer hasnt confirmed this.

If Battlefield 2042 does end up being delayed to November, well once again
see the veteran FPS duke it out against its bitter rival Call of Duty. The upcoming Call of Duty: Vanguard is set to release on November 5, the same month Battlefield 2042 is rumored to be delayed to.

Itll be interesting to see if Battlefield 2042 matches or surpasses the quality of Call of Duty: Vanguard, as the last Battlefield title (
Battlefield 5 ) left some fans unimpressed. But while Call of Duty is
sticking to its tried and tested formula this time round, EA Dice has opted
to try something new with 2042, a move that could win back those jaded by the last series entry. With a focus on evolving the series crowd-pleasing chaotic sandbox gameplay and huge multiplayer battles, while adding fresh new
features such as extreme weather conditions, Battlefield 2042 is set to be
the most ambitious Battlefield to date.

It looks like Vanguard has some serious competition. And, as it stands, my money is on Battlefield 2042. If Dice and EA can deliver on their vision of Battlefield 2042 having unprecedented, massive, all-out-warfare on a scale never seen before, then Call of Duty will probably permanently reside on my bookcase this November.
