Exciting news for Battlefield fans! EA and DICE could reveal the next game in the series, possibly named “Battlefield 2042,” very soon. Recent leaks on Reddit suggest that the game’s title and cover art have already surfaced online. These details were reportedly shared by a user named HeoTK, who gathered information from Tom Henderson’s Discord server and other forums.

Rumor has it that Battlefield 2042 will take place 20 years after the events of Battlefield 4, setting players in a near-future world packed with cutting-edge technology. Speculations also hint that an alpha or beta version of the game might be released later this month, giving fans an early taste of what’s to come.

One of the most exciting aspects of these leaks is the possibility of enormous maps—the biggest in Battlefield history. Early hints suggest that one of the maps, called “Shelf,” could be set in Antarctica. Another map might feature an island environment. While this all sounds thrilling, keep in mind that none of this has been officially confirmed yet.

EA has previously revealed that multiple studios are working on the development of the game. These include Criterion, EA DICE, EA Gothenburg, and DICE LA. Battlefield 2042 is expected to be available on both next-gen consoles and older platforms, as well as PC.

As for the release date, fans should mark their calendars for Q3 2021, which means the game could launch between October and December. More details are likely to be shared during EA’s next EA Play event later in the year. Stay tuned for updates!
