Just can’t wait to get your hands on Battlefield 2042? Well, it’s seeming increasingly likely you’ll get to try out the game’s beta next week. We previously heard rumors from the usual-reliable Tom Henderson that the Battlefield 2042 early access beta would kick off on October 6 and the open beta would begin on October 8, and a new leak may confirm that.
Once again coming our way courtesy of Tom Henderson, it seems the streaming site Bilibili (essentially the Chinese version of Twitch) may have leaked the Battlefield 2042 beta dates. The image shared by Henderson is from the official Battlefield 2042 Bilibili livestream page, so it seems it’s the real deal.

Couple of things;
It says events from Oct 6th - 9th (doesn't mean the Beta ends then).
It’s from the Bilibili live stream page, and BF2042 was recently added to the general categories section.
BF2042 has an official account on Bilibili, so the info is real.

So yeah, according to the Bilibili header, the Battlefield 2042 events will be running from October 6 to October 9, although the beta could extend beyond the 9th, or plans may be slightly different in China than in the rest of the world. According to Henderson, he expects a BF2042 beta announcement and new trailer on Wednesday…
Looks like the #BATTLEFIELD Beta announcement (with trailer) is scheduled for Wednesday.
It's unclear if the Bilibili leak will force them to release the trailer or not tomorrow though.
