BATTLEFIELD 2042 MARKS THE RETURN OF TOTAL WARFARE IN AN EPIC AND UN PEERLESS NEW EXPERIENCE

The next-generation Battlefield coming to the world on October 22 on Xbox® One, Xbox® Series X|S, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5 and PC via Origin, Steam and Epic Games Store

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - June 9, 2021 - Electronic Arts and DICE today announced Battlefield 2042,a revolutionary first-person shooter intended to revolutionize the modern multiplayer sandbox. Powered by state-of-the-art technology, which leverages the capabilities of next-generation hardware, the title catapults players into a total war experience that includes the franchise's hallmark: revolutionary destruction. With matches bringing together up to 128 players on the latest consoles* and PCs, this unprecedented scale adds a new dimension to multiplayer battles. Battlefield 2042 also increases action, including real-time events that reshape the battlefield and tactical combat. All new weapons, vehicles and gadgets give players the freedom to be strategic and create stunning moments, exclusive to this battlefield.

In Battlefield 2042,the world is on the brink. The shortage of food, energy and clean water has led to the failure of dozens of nations, creating the largest refugee crisis in human history. Among these stateless people are families, farmers, engineers and even soldiers. In the midst of this crisis, the United States and Russia are dragging the world into total war. Stateless specialists join both sides, not fighting for a flag, but for the future of the stateless in this new world.

Players will take on the shoes of the Specialists, a brand new type of playable soldier in the franchise. Inspired by the traditional four Battlefield classes, Specialists will be equipped with a unique Specialty and Trait, and will have fully customizable equipment. As Specialists, players will have access to a state-of-the-art arsenal of weapons, equipment, and vehicles for use in battle. These powerful new tools offer creative players a wide range of options, so they can find the perfect combination that can adapt to their style of play and outseast opponents on the battlefield.

"Battlefield 2042 is an evolution of the franchise and embraces what our players want - battlefield's ultimate multiplayer sandbox with intense combat and a ton of incredible and unexpected events,"said Oskar Gabrielson, General Manager of DICE." All of us at DICE in Stockholm, SAYS LA, Criterion and EA Gothenburg had a great time developing this title, and now it's time for players to participate: they'll find that we've created three distinct, absolutely epic experiences that we think they'll appreciate."

The series' biggest and most ambitious title, Battlefield 2042,includes:

  • All-Out Warfare - the next generation of fan-favorite Conquest and Breakthrough modes, with the biggest maps ever for the franchise and, for the first time, up to 128 players*. Experience the intensity of All-Out Warfare in large-scale battles like never before, with maps packed with dynamic weather conditions, dangerous environmental hazards, and spectacular world events that see the backs tear the map apart, and sandstorms blocking the sun.
  • Hazard Zone - a whole new, high-risk, team type of game for the Battlefield franchise. It is a modern version of the multiplayer experience, a distinctive feature of DICE, but very different from the Conquest or Breakthrough modes of All-Out Warfare.
  • TO ANNOUNCE - the third experience, developed by DICE LA, is another exciting new type of game for the franchise. This experience is a love letter for Battlefield fans: longtime players will feel comfortable. Tune in to EA Play Live on July 22 for full details.
