Ahead of E3 2021, the annual trade event for the video game
industry that begins next week, DICE and Electronic Arts have announced the
highly anticipated Battlefield 2042 first-person shooter set in a dystopian
world is coming to PCs and consoles on October 22.
Battlefield 2042 will not feature a single-player campaign
this time, instead focusing on the more popular multiplayer mode that supports
up to 128 players, according to Polygon. Set amid rising sea levels, a world on
the brink of environmental collapse, economic misery, the world has been thrown
into disarray and soldiers now fight to save the planet and to survive the new
dystopian reality. While playing Battlefield, gamers will be able to use
drones, wingsuits, quadruped robots wingsuits, along with advanced warplanes
and tanks and will battle for technological advancement, gathering resources
and gain territory across India, South Korea, Singapore Qatar and Antarctica.
In addition to the regions specified above, Battlefield 2042
players will also have to deal with natural anomalies such as tornadoes,
sandstorms, as well as other calamities that can scatter them all over the
area. However, users can also take advantage of these events to gain an upper
hand over their opponents in the game -- but the events will be unpredictable,
according to senior game designer Nickole Li. In multiplayer mode, gamers will
be able to try out three modes. The first is Hazard Zone, which features a
tight squad play for teammates -- but isn’t a battle royale mode according to
the game’s design director Daniel Berlin, the report states. The second is
called All-out Warfare, which will feel familiar to Battefield fans, with
larger maps and bigger team sizes. The third mode will be announced later by
the studio.
