Following the launch of “Battlefield V” Battlefield 5 in 2018, EA DICE Studios finally held an online preview of a new episode of Battlefield last week. This episode of the game will be named after “Battlefield 2042” (Battlefield 2042) , And with a slightly beyond the current 2042 as the background of the story, the game will be launched on both the new and old generations of PS / XBOX and PC cross-platform, and will be officially released on October 22.
Set against the background of the 2042 US-Russian Total War
The previous episode of BFV took World War II as the background of the game. I believe that players are not difficult to estimate that the current episode of the game should be modern or future-oriented. The game background of “Battlefield 2042” is set in 2042 in the near future, and the world of the time is at a time when war is about to start. Shortages of food, energy, and clean water have led to the collapse of many countries around the world, causing the largest refugee crisis in human history. In this crisis, the United States and Russia will be involved in an all-out war, and other stateless persons have joined the war between the two sides, but they are not fighting for one of them, but for the future world. Fight for survival.

this looks quite incredible. I am also very eager to get back to searching for those famous easter eggs and looking out for Megalodons and “Levolution” and I wonder if there will be a “Community Test Environment”?
The one thing that I never liked about the past few battlefield games is when you get in a helicopter you are locked on by ten guys with missiles the second you take off. If they would nerf that that would be great.
