UPDATE 2: Express Gaming can confirm that the Battlefield 1 open beta has ended.

An EA spokesperson confirmed that the open beta ended earlier this morning, while EA Support has posted a message thanking fans.

"Hello Battlefield fans!" reads an EA support post. "Thank you to everyone that participated in the Battlefield 1 Open Beta.

"The beta has now ended and you'll no longer be able to join any games."

UPDATE: EA and DICE are taking requests for a new Battlefield 1 map on the game's forums.

Asked if the Battlefield 1 beta would get a new map, EA said: "We are taking suggestions for a new map here," before linking to the forums.

"We understand. Can you please add your request for a new map here."

ORIGINAL STORY: Battlefield 1 publisher EA has announced the official end date for the shooter's open beta on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

According to an announcement on Twitter, the Battlefield 1 open beta will end on Thursday, September 8.

"The war's not over yet. The Battlefield 1 Open Beta will end on Thursday, September 8," the post reads.

"There are still a few days left to try out the Battlefield 1 Open Beta. Get your Squad and head into battle," reads a follow-up tweet.

EA and Battlefield 1 developer DICE had previously kept the end date a secret, telling fans to stay tuned, because they didn't have an "end date just yet".

It's unclear exactly what time the beta will end, although it's already been given a patch to tweak Conquest mode.

The new patch disables the timer in Conquest mode, meaning that matches are decided by reaching a certain number of points, instead of an end time.

"Today's Battlefield 1 Open Beta patch disables the round timer in Conquest Mode. Go capture those points!" reads a Battlefield tweet.
