The next Battlefield game, Battlefield 2042, is set in the future, EA announced during a digital showcase today that started after a “countdown to a countdown.” A gameplay reveal is scheduled for June 13. The game releases October 22 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC.
In Battlefield 2042, the United States is locked in a cold war with—and, given the series’ history, you’ll never guess this—Russia in the wake of global climate disaster. Maps, of which there will be seven at the start, can host up to 128 players depending on the mode, a significant increase over the 64-player limit in recent entries. (Matches played on PS4 and Xbox One will still be limited to 64 players.) Oh, yeah, and there are robot dogs. And wingsuits.
An open beta is scheduled for an unspecified future date. According to the terms and conditions, your character data will not transfer over to the main game.
