EA has officially announced the Battlefield 2042 Open Beta, set for the second week of October, with players getting early access a couple of days before.
Battlefield, developed by Dice and published by Electronic Arts, is one of the most recognizable military first-person shooters. The series is known for its iconic massive scale battle with the use of combined arms.
The latest iteration of Battlefield 2042 takes the series back to the near-future-era setting, previously visited in Battlefield 3 and 4. Ever since its announcement, fans have been holding their breath in anticipation.
After much speculation, EA officially announced the Open Beta dates for Battlefield 2042, along with a brand new trailer.

Conquest, the classic Battlefield mode, has been reworked in Battlefield 2042 to account for the larger map size and increased player count. Instead of individual control points, players now need to capture several flags, which make up the sector. It will certainly be interesting to jump into conquest mode on Orbital, next to an imminent rocket launch.
Players are looking forward to jumping into the Open Beta and experiencing Battlefield 2042.
