Matthias360 · 05-06-2009, 10:27 PM

Hi there,

on the back of the german gamesTM magazine which came out this week the print advertisement for Battlefield 1943 shows the release date: 25. June
See photo below.

BackedOut_ · 05-06-2009, 10:31 PM

Now that is some proof! Well done mate, that is amazing.

I really hope it's real. Did you take the picture?

3 cheers for Matthias.

Matthias360 · 05-06-2009, 10:35 PM

Yep, i took the pic (i was really surprised of the ad cause there were no infos about the release so far)...

BackedOut_ · 05-06-2009, 10:40 PM

I think I love you. Seriously that is awesome news, we will ALL be pleased to hear this.

It all fits in aswell as the 25th is on a Thursday.

Can you take a few more photos of the mag?

Jonnyporsche · 05-06-2009, 10:40 PM

Still that seems ages off, nice find tho

Well, here's the cover shot, should be enough...

Actually gamesTM is originally an UK magazine and this is the german magazine.

Scorp137 · 05-06-2009, 10:51 PM

Just, 20_more_days...

Nothing special.. "Nur 12,99" = Only 12,99. That's the price on psn.

rich7733 · 05-06-2009, 11:07 PM

flatfroggerx · 05-06-2009, 11:41 PM

See photo below.

Pretty bad communication with us isn't it? but who knows maybe theres a plan to it all

<<< Mushroom stew LOL

bunsenbeaker27 · 06-06-2009, 01:13 AM

Although it is encouraging to see. I wouldn't take the 25th as 100% guaranteed. That is probably the target date for release but considering the game went final build yesterday and that magazine was most likely printed last week....it is just a guestimate not than a fact.

fields00 · 06-06-2009, 01:17 AM

Agreed. But it's hopeful nonetheless.

I agree as well. The final build still has to be passed along by MS and Sony. Hopefully, according to other threads, the team has got there stuff together and it will get final approval from both the first time through!

flatfroggerx · 06-06-2009, 01:41 AM

Tis true, if the game only JUST hit certification entry theres no way that magazine could have knew a 100% accurate date.

Its possible it was passed on as a "projected" date.

MA5T3RM1N3 · 06-06-2009, 01:46 AM

I would have to say a little before that. I don't think it will take 21+ days to reach certification. (they said it was complete june 4)

RK1Apocalypse · 06-06-2009, 02:52 AM

The only thing i see wrong with this......GVD just found out yesterday at 2AM that the game was finished and was ready to be sent in for certification. So how could this magazine know before DICE even knows? Is this a legit release date? No. Until we hear it from DICE. All dates will remain rumors. Sorry.

Also....MS/Sony certification takes anywhere from 2-4 weeks.

1 more thing......DICE doesnt even know what the date will be. The following quote is taken directly from Patrick Liu's Twitter at www.twitter.com/pottan

HAHAHA... wishfull thinking that's all. Good find though.

If they would have got the game done and certified sooner then they would have announced the 25th to release it. BUT...They lagged so it truly is out of their hands ATM and I'm sure if they get it back before then it will still be the official date.

spacefox00 · 06-06-2009, 03:39 AM

Well, I sure hope it's earlier than that...but overall it's a good date.
