GamesBeat writer Jeff Grubb said there will be a “singular delay”, which suggests one game will be hit by it. That being said, Grubb did not specify which game it was, or any other details beyond that. But according to video games leaker Tom Henderson, this may very well be EA’s Battlefield 2042.
— Jeff Grubb (@JeffGrubb) September 15, 2021 More specifically, Battlefield 2042 may get delayed by a few weeks, but it won’t be stretched into multiple months. Currently, Henderson claims that the publisher is looking to push the release of the game back to late November. It’s a popular window for games to be released in after all, so it’s not too surprising.
To be delayed by several weeks and not months which conflicts with the other rumors, but it’s what I’ve heard. Late Nov 2021 is currently flying around. — Tom Henderson (@Tom_Henderson) September 15, 2021 Though with the game getting delayed, it doesn’t look like the promised beta will be affected. Henderson claims in a follow-up tweet that the beta will stay in its rumoured 22 September start date. That being said, EA has as of yet said nothing about the Battlefield 2042 beta beyond a September window. (Source: Jeff Grubb, Tom Henderson via VGC)
