EA and DICE gave the world its first glimpse of Battlefield 2042 last week by way of a cinematic trailer and followed up on that with the first-ever look at gameplay. The first gameplay trailer came this afternoon during the Microsoft & Bethesda Games Showcase during E3 2021. 

The trailer provides a first-hand look at gameplay for Battlefield 2042 and shows off the game’s massive scale and epic destruction, as well as providing the next look at the game’s range of weapons, vehicles, gadgets, and maps. 

During the Battlefield 2042 reveal earlier this week, the team at DICE provided players a look at the first of three distinct multiplayer experiences, All-Out Warfare. This experience includes the next generation of fan-favorite modes Conquest and Breakthrough, now featuring up to 128 players on PC and next-gen consoles, with maps filled with dynamic weather, dangerous environmental hazards, and spectacular world events. 

EA and DICE will be evolving our world and expanding on the fiction through Seasons, each one lasting for about three months. Every Season will come with a new free and paid-for Battle Pass, delivering new content to chase after. In the first year of live service, the team is expected to deliver four Seasons, with four Battle Passes, four new Specialists, and other content.
