When does pre-ordering end exactly?

And, I don’t see the option for premium, only the Deluxe edition.

When’s the premium version going to be released, and how much will that cost?

Is it going to be similar to the price structure of BF4?

Thanks in advance!

Most likely the premium addon will be able to be bought whenever they have finalized what they should include in the DLC’s - also I don’t see why they would’ve changed the way they have structured the prices, which therefore doesn’t seem like something that is gonna happen. Other games tend to end their pre-ordering just a week before release. 🙂

TLDR: The premium addon will most likely be available when the DLC’s is put onto place. - Premium will also most likely be the same price as for BF4, Hardline and other EA(DICE) published games. Pre-ordering probably ends a week+ before final release.

Thanks for the info. They’re probably figuring out the add-ons for Premium, but they can figure that out in the several months leading up to the release, let alone the release of the DLC’s. If they don’t want to falsely advertise and end up changing what you get in for buying Premium, all they have to do is give the minimum (or minimally expected), and announce later on that they’ll be including more add-ons and perks with Premium membership. It’ll be a welcome surprise. All in all, I want to pay less for Premium membership early on, instead of 1+ years after release due to price.

I am sure the game can’t wait for you either, Robbie.

Pre-ordering generally ends when the game is actually out. It’s usually better to wait until closer to the release date anyway as other retailers may start competing for pre-order bonuses. Just don’t pre-order before you’ve played the beta! 😛

I would also wait on pre-ordering Premium until right before the first DLC is released- Play the game a while and be certain you enjoy it before considering committing yourself to all the DLC. 😉

But when will Premium Pre-ordering start? How much will it cost?

Will it be cheaper to Pre-order Standard now and buy Premium before the first DLC?

Or will it be cheaper to Pre-order the Premium outright?

If we assume the same structure as BF4, what will it be for BF1?

No information regarding Premium has been announced yet.

I guess the pre-order period will last quiet a bit until the date of release appears on the horizon. Regarding Premium, as THISaint has mentioned, nothing has been yet announced regarding a Premium feature. You’ll just have to keep an eye for any possible future announcements.

Yes, they should post Premium pre-order. Any true Battlefield warrior wants premium, not some deluxe edition that although gives you a few interesting load outs, does not give access to the future dlcs. I want a Premium copy from the start not some deluxe edition for a few trinkets and then have to purchase more dlcs later.

There has been no announcement of any kind of Premium option. The Pre-Order options on Origin at present are Standard and Early Enlister Deluxe Edition.

I cannot believe anyone is considering pre-ordering after the BF4 release {CENSORED BY ADMIN} - it took DICE/EA at least a year to clean the game up. Personally I’m pumped about a new game, WWI, but there is no way on God’s green earth I am buying before watching the new roll-out.

BF4 was launched on a rather early build of FrostBite3, that along with the challenges of building for both older consoles and the newer generation consoles just rolling out at release was a much different development climate at that time than presently.

I’ll see anyone else who preorders it on the battlefield! I’m so stoked for it, getting mine in before I miss out!

Hardline had a smoother launch, and that’s the more recent launch…

Need for Speed uses Frostbite too and had a smooth launch…

I think it’s moot to keep comparing releases of older games when you have more recent games to compare to…

I would like to pre-order, but I’m going to wait until I hear something more definitive about the DLC pricing structure and whether or not a premium edition will be available.

Nothing has been said about free DLC yet. Most likely we will be seeing some of those.
