Loved the trailer and the callback to the rendezook from BF3. So hype for the gameplay drop on the 13th. Releases in October.

The next Battlefield game is called Battlefield 2042, and it'll be out this October. It's set in the near-future (think Boston Dynamics robot dogs, not laser guns), but for once the setting isn't the biggest thing to talk about. In fact, it's the least interesting thing about Battlefield 2042, which I may never have said about another Battlefield game. Here are the important facts:

The max player count has been doubled to 128 on PC and the new consoles

The 128-player maps are divided into sectors containing clusters of control points; capture all the control points in a sector to control it

Classes (engineer, assault, support, etc) are now categories that contain specialists. Each specialist has a backstory and unique gadget, but can carry any gun.

Gadgets we've seen: A grappling hook, a health/revive gun (think Doc in Rainbow Six Siege), an auto-turret (think Team Fortress 2), a movement sensor (to catch people sneaking up on you while you're sniping)

10 specialists at launch

Purchasable battle passes: four seasons and four new specialists per year

Post-launch maps will all be free

"Levolution" is back, baby. What we've seen: tornadoes lift players and vehicles into a vortex, a sandstorm blots out the sky, a space rocket launches (or maybe explodes)

Everyone has a wingsuit

Some vehicles have spotter seats (a small detail but I like the sound of it)

No battle royale, but there are some mystery modes

No singleplayer campaign
