Battlefield 5 Delayed to November 20th For “Final Adjustments”
In a recent statement, DICE general manager Oskar Gabrielson cited the closed alphas and hands-on time that players had at Gamescom and E3 2018. “You have told us that you are seeing an increased focus on squad play come through, you are also feeling the difference in our revamped player movement and we are getting a lot of positive feedback for our improved weapons handling.
“You’ve also spurred us to make some meaningful improvements to the core gameplay experience, including adjusting the gameplay tempo, improving soldier visibility and reducing player friction.” Many of these changes will be seen in the upcoming open beta on September 6th (or September 4th if you have EA Access or Origin Access Premier/Basic).
Gabrielson says the team feels it has “one of the best Battlefield games ever on our hands. A game that will deliver on an emotional journey through the return of unseen single player War Stories, a deep multiplayer experience, Battle Royale, along with our new live service, Tides of War – a journey across multiple theaters of WW2 and designed to keep our community together. With the Open Beta just around the corner, we are excited about the millions of you who will join us and experience the game. And we fully expect to see even more feedback coming our way.
“And that’s why we’re moving our launch date. We’re going to take the time to continue to make some final adjustments to core gameplay, and to ensure we really deliver on the potential of Tides of War. We know moving the launch date means that we all have to wait a little longer. But we’re going to take our time to make sure we get it right.”
It’s understandable that DICE would use the additional time to further polish the game, especially in light of upcoming open beta feedback. Another benefit of moving the release date is that Battlefield 5 won’t have to compete with Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2, which release on October 12th and October 26th respectively. Is it also possible that some features like the co-op mode Combined Arms are also included with the new release date? Time will tell so stay tuned.

I'm glad they made this decision as it gives them time to make the fixes required to make the game work and it might also benefit sales as it's not coming out in the busy October month
IQPosted:
I can't wait to play this title despite all the controversy. I'm sure this game is gonna exceed all my expectations. Just a couple more months to go!
JimboPosted:
Smart move for them. Not only does it give them the chance to brush up on bugs/features but now they don't have to compete with two huge games also coming out in October.

More like they didn't want to release their game in the already overcrowded month of october
MazePosted:
Better than have it come out broken like a lot of new games do. This is pretty crazy for battlefield though I wouldn't expect it at all
XboxPosted:
Always hate to see a game I am waiting on being delayed but if it's for the better I can't complain.
CraigPosted:
I mean, I'm all for refinement but delaying it for over a month is not cool. They say this game could be the best Battlefield to date, yet it sounds like they don't have full faith in it themselves. I need the beta to drop before I can say it's worth the extra wait.
