Battlefield 2042 release date: How long after Call of Duty Vanguard, before Halo Infinite?

Three top FPS shooters are arriving over the coming weeks, with just small grapes separating the launch dates of each.

The Battlefield 2042 release date is wedged in between Call of Duty Vanguard and Halo Infinite, and it’s hard to see which AAA title will lead the sales chart.

Gamers have had to wait years for a new Battlefield and even longer for Halo Infinite, with Microsoft holding back for a long time.

The good news is that each should provide a different style of gameplay, with Battlefield focused on huge encounters, while Vanguard will boast a campaign and Halo Infinite including both.

There’s a wait time for each game to arrive on the market, with Call of Duty Vanguard launching first later this week.

Call of Duty Vanguard is a premium COD title, meaning you will need to pay top dollar to gain access to all its features, including the campaign, multiplayer and Zombies mode.

Warzone is the free-to-play COD title that will integrate with it, meaning that some aspects, including weapons and Battle Pass, will be shared between them.

The Call of Duty Vanguard release date has been set for Friday, November 5, across PlayStation, Xbox and PC platforms.

This will be followed by Battlefield 2042, a game that will include several modes at launch, all based around multiplayer experience.

Gamers will have to wait longer to play this title, with the Battlefield 2042 release date scheduled for November 19.

However, it should be noted that EA has announced that a ten-hour trial will be available to play on November 12 if you own EA Play or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

It should also be noted that those who own an EA Play Pro subscription or have pre-ordered the Gold or Ultimate editions of Battlefield 2042, will get the full game on November 12.

Meanwhile, Halo Infinite will arrive last, with Microsoft choosing to launch the Master Chief’s latest adventure on December 8.
