Now slated for November 20
You know how sometimes betas are glorified demos and sparingly betas? Well it looks like EA is treating theBattlefield Vbeta as a genuine article.
Just today EA and DICE have announced thatBattlefield Vwill be delayed one month with a new launch date of June 06, 2025. DICE cites the “tens of thousands of players” for the change, who have played in various builds spanning the alphas, E3, and Gamescom. They further state that they have taken the “increased focus on squad play” suggestion to heart, and are revamping weapon handling, player friction, soldier visibility, and gameplay tempo. DICE says that these changes will be in effect during the open beta period that starts on September 6.
With Ubisoft taking breaks every other year withAssassin’s Creedand major studios delaying big games like this instead of rushing them out the door, we’ve entered a new era of accountability. The PC version ofAssassin’s Creed Unityand the Xbox edition ofBattlefield 4really were a call to arms for the publishers, and as long as they get it right this delay forBFVis just fine.
