Obviously, we want to play the game as soon as humanly possible, but waiting for a while is worth it when it means the game will be better.<\/p>\n But when is the new Battlefield 2042 release date, and what else do we know about the exciting sci-fi shooter? Keep on reading and we\u2019ll tell you all of the essential detailed.<\/p>\n The Battlefield 2042 release date is now set for 19th November 2021<\/strong>, placing the game slap-bang in the middle of this year\u2019s Q4 squeeze.

During an Xbox\/Bethesda showcase<\/a> at the E3 2021<\/a> conference, fans were treated to their first proper look at Battlefield 2042 gameplay. You can take a look at the video below:<\/p>\n\n The first Battlefield 2042 story trailer was shown during a special Battlefield 6 reveal event<\/a>, and it\u2019s packed with blockbuster-movie-worthy action and excitement. Of course, this is more of a tone-teasing taster than a proper look at the game, but it\u2019s still enough to give us an idea of what the developers are aiming for. Take a look below.<\/p>\n\n Since that trailer dropped, EA has shared the Exodus short film<\/a>, which confirmed that Michael K. Williams has reprised his role as Irish for Battlefield 2042. Sadly, this will be one of the actor\u2019s final performances \u2013 the talented actor passed away in September 2021.<\/p>\n An FAQ page on the EA website<\/a> confirms that Battlefield 6 \u201cwill launch on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 consoles, along with PC on Steam, Origin, and the Epic Games store\u201d. So it\u2019ll be available pretty much everywhere, basically, except for Nintendo Switch and Google Stadia.<\/p> Pre-orders have now begun for Battlefield 2042, and you can order a physical copy from Amazon<\/a> if that\u2019s your cup of tea \u2013 prices start at \u00a354.99 on there. Or if you\u2019d like to save a few quid, Gamebyte<\/a> will sell you a copy of Battlefield 2042 for \u00a349.95.<\/p>\n If you prefer to go straight to the launcher of your choice, PC players can pre-order the game on Steam<\/a>, EA Origin<\/a> or the Epic Games Store<\/a>. PlayStation players can go directly to the Sony<\/a> store. And Xbox players can order the game on the Microsoft<\/a> store.

There\u2019s also a Gold Edition at \u00a389.99 and an Ultimate Edition at \u00a3109.99, each of which offers some extra goodies.<\/p>\n The EA website<\/a> confirms that members of the standard version of EA Play will get access to a 10-hour trial for Battlefield 2042, as well as earning 10 per cent off the price of a pre-order.<\/p>\n Members of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate get the standard version of EA Play included in that subscription, so they should expect to receive those same benefits (10 hours free access and 10 per cent off the full game).<\/p>\n If you\u2019re a member of EA Play Pro, the more expensive tier that doesn\u2019t come with Xbox Game Pass, you will get full access to the Ultimate Edition of Battlefield 2042.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Members of EA Play and Xbox Game Pass will be able to try the game out ahead of time, with a 10-hour free trial that begins on 15th October 2021 (one week before the full release).<\/p>\n And there\u2019s even better news for members of the more expensive EA Play Pro membership club, who will have access to the full game on 15th October.<\/p>\n There will also be a Technical Playtest in July 2021, with EA\u2019s FAQ page<\/a> explaining that \u201ca limited number of Battlefield veteran players will be able to participate\u201d in this Closed Alpha, \u201csimilar to those created for previous Battlefield games.\u201d There\u2019s no word yet on how to apply for that, but we\u2019ll let you know if that changes.<\/p>\n The rest of us will just have to wait until 19th November 2021, when the full Battlefield 2042 release date will be upon us!
