Speaking in a community interview with Eurogamer.net, DICE producer Gordon Van Dyke has revealed that while EA won't offer a of 1943, a 'trial version' of the game will be offered instead.

Presumably, this trial version will either be time-limited, or include locked features, but either way developer DICE are confident this can show off their new Battlefield in a good light.

"No beta, but we have a trial version that lets you confirm what you already thought - that this game is the best 15 USD I will ever spend!"

The new Battlefield will land later this summer as downloadable release.
