About Battlefield™ 2042

Battlefield™ 2042 poster

Battlefield 2042 brings the series back to the sprawling, all-out warfare that made its name. This first-person shooter arms you with a forward-looking arsenal and drops you into dense, immersive multiplayer clashes where scale and chaos define the fight. Whether you thrive in wide open battles or the tension of close-quarters combat, the maps span both a near-future 2042 setting and reworked locations pulled from classic Battlefield titles.

Class-based play lets you settle into a role that suits you, and the mode lineup includes elevated takes on longtime favorites like Conquest and Breakthrough. Leading your squad to victory means adapting to each map and reading the flow of a battle as it swings.

For players who like to experiment, Battlefield Portal opens things up considerably. It is a creation platform on PC where you can discover, build, and share matchups that mix eras and factions from across Battlefield's history and present, turning the game into a sandbox for unexpected battles limited mostly by imagination.
