Battlefield 2042

Battlefield 2042 is the next installment of the bestselling FPS series, and the first developed for the ninth generation consoles - PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The title focuses on multiplayer gameplay. EA DICE, the studio behind the series, is responsible for its creation, while Electronic Arts, which owns the rights to the brand, is responsible for its release.

Story

As the title suggests, Battlefield 2042 takes us on a journey to the not too distant future. Standing on the brink of war, the United States and Russia have been participating for years in conflicts that are supposed to replace large-scale war. The soldiers who take part in them are true specialists and their actions shape the future of the entire world.

Specialists

In Battlefield 2042 we observe the action from the first person perspective (FPP). During the game we play as Specialists based on four classes characteristic for the series. Each type of soldier has a unique specialization and trait. The rest, i.e., equipment taken to the battlefield, can be freely modified and adapted to individual preferences. And there's plenty to choose from - the authors give us an extensive arsenal, a wide range of combat gadgets, various vehicles and numerous accessories such as a grappling hook with a rope, a wingsuit or a special combat robot.

Production gives us seven vast and varied maps. Fights take place in urban areas (Songdo, Doha), sandy desert (Egypt) and ice-bound Antarctica, among others. Interestingly, this time the battlefields are constantly changing, both under the influence of warfare and as a result of violent atmospheric phenomena, led by sandstorms and tornadoes.

Danger Zone

The backbone of Battlefield 2042 is its multiplayer mode, which allows up to 128 players to play at once. First on the list of available gameplay options is the all-new Danger Zone. In addition, there are the updated Conquest and Breach modes.

Cross-platform

Battlefield 2042 allows for cross-platform gameplay. This allows players playing on different devices to measure themselves against each other.
Frostbite

Battlefield 2042 runs on the latest version of Frostbite technology, making the visuals look top-notch. The same can be said about the sound, which maintains the high level known from previous installments of the series.
