The next Battlefield game has finally announced. However, while EA’s Battlefield 2042 trailer gave us a glimpse of what to expect from the game, there’s lots more to consider about the next big Battlefield experience. With that in mind, here’s everything we currently know about the next Battlefield.
what is battlefield 2042 all about?

Set in the not so distant future, Battlefield 2042 takes place a mere 20 years from now. However, despite this, Battlefield 2042 features a world plagued by ecological turmoil. As a result, players will get to brave dynamic weather conditions, environmental hazards and real-time events like tornadoes and sandstorms.
Battlefield 2042 gameplay features
At its core, Battlefield 2042 will be a massive, multiplayer experience. Featuring 128 player matches the franchises biggest maps yet, 2042 will probably feel like a real-life war scenario. Sadly, while this is great news for multiplayer fans, the game will lack any sort of single-player campaign.

Instead, the shooter will feature three modes of play; All-Out Warfare (a new take on conquest/breakthrough), Hazard Zone (a new squad based mode) and a third experience that will be announced at EA Play Live on the 22nd of July.
How much will battlefield 2042 cost?
As you’d perhaps expect, Battlefield 2042 will cost more on new-gen consoles. If you’re still using a PS4 or Xbox One as your daily driver, you’ll be able to pick the game up for £59.99. However, if you’re lucky enough to own a PS5 or Xbox Series console, the game will cost you £69.99. Of course, it’s worth mentioning that both versions of the game will run on new-gen consoles, thanks to backwards compatibility.
Of course, if you’re feeling fancy, you could also consider picking up Battlefield 2042 Gold Edition. Coming in at £89.99 on PC and £99.99 on console, the game’s Gold Edition provides access to exclusive in-game content. Alternatively, you could splash out on the game’s Ultimate Edition, which costs a whopping £119.99 on console.
Luckily, If you have an EA Play Pro membership, you’ll be able to play the Ultimate Edition of the game and participate in its open beta. Ordinary EA Play members will also access a 10-hour trial of the game from the 15th of October 2021.
When will the next battlefield release?

If you’re eagerly awaiting the next big Battlefield experience, you’ll be pleased to know that the game is coming on the 22nd of October 2021. Hopefully, Battlefield 2042’s current release date will remain intact as the rest of the year progresses!
