Developer DICE always said the release date for BF 1943 would be this summer, preferably July. EA seems to confirm this in a recent newsletter, stating that Battlefield 1943 would be released July 9th.

However, DICE community manager Gordon Van Dyke refused to confirm this date, and said that they’re still working on the game and “need to settle a few minor things” before setting on a date. All things considered, July 9 looks like the real deal. Battlefield 1943 will be released as a downloadable title for $15 on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. PC owners will have to wait until September to try the game.
