With each passing day this summer season, we undoubtedly strategy the reveal of the following Battlefield. EA stated we should always anticipate it someday in the summertime, and although the sport has but to be given a correct title, there’s lots the groups behind it have been snug sharing.

This can be the primary time, nonetheless, that an open beta has been confirmed for a sport with no title, as a result of that’s precisely what EA simply did.

The “announcement” was made on Battlefield’s official Twitter account. Fairly surprisingly, the tweet itself was about one thing else, and the open beta information appeared to have simply slipped in there.

“Open Weapons vs Closed Weapons. Why not each?” the tweet reads. “Beginning at Open Beta gamers can select official playlists with Signature Weapons locked to class, or not. Extra to come back.”

So sure, that’s affirmation of an open beta, even earlier than we all know what the sport goes to be referred to as. What the tweet is referring to is all of the drama amongst the neighborhood a couple of notably main change in the best way courses and weapons work within the upcoming sport. DICE first revealed its intention to make all weapons accessible to all courses again in Could. The response from longtime followers was instantly adverse.

At any price, the reveal of the following Battlefield have to be extremely shut now, which suggests the aforementioned open beta shouldn’t be far off, both.
