Battlefield 2042 was recently revealed, and now there are already details about the mysterious, secret mode that you are expected to learn about in a month. A well-known leaker claims to know what it will be. What is the truth behind this “love letter for Battlefield fans”?
Just on June 9, Battlefield 2042 was officially introduced and generated considerable hype with its nearly 5-minute long reveal trailer. The shooter community has been eager for new information since then. EA is fueling the anticipation with another mysterious mode, which players will have to wait more than a month for – or will they?
More information about the mysterious mode:
- On the Battlefield 2042 website, EA is teasing an upcoming mode for the recently introduced shooter in a mysterious manner.
- It says: “Tune in on July 22 at EA PLAY Live and see the reveal of this love letter to Battlefield fans and longtime players developed by DICE LA” (via EA.com).
- A leak now reveals: it’s all about nostalgia.
- The still “blacked-out” mode is supposed to revolve around old and familiar weapons, vehicles, and even classic maps that players have cherished for years.
- The leak also mentions that this is supposed to be the “Battlefield Hub,” which has been circulating on the Internet for months and aims to connect the games much like how Warzone does with Call of Duty. The hub is intended to be a central hub that will continually receive new and old content (from previous titles).
Here we see the 3 pillars of Battlefield 2042: The already announced multiplayer mode with 128 simultaneous players, “Hazard Zone,” and the “Blacked Out” mode, which is supposed to be a love letter to the fans. However, keep in mind that the shooter (at release) will forgo a traditional single-player campaign.
Where does the information come from? The leak that let the information slip is from Tom Henderson. Henderson is considered well-informed in the scene and has previously had a shockingly high prediction rate in the shooter area.
The exact number of 128 simultaneous soldiers in the new Battlefield, the setting, and the new specialist classes were correctly leaked by him at the end of May (via Twitter). He received an email with the information about the “love letter” mode and boldly shares it via Twitter:
But remember: even if Henderson has often been right, there is no guarantee until we receive official information from EA or DICE. He himself says via Twitter that it sounds plausible, but skepticism is always warranted with leaks.
By the way, there has also been a long-standing speculation from some that a “Battle Royale” mode for the new Battlefield is coming. However, there is currently nothing new to report on that front.
You only have to wait 2 days for new information about Battlefield 2024
This is what’s coming soon: After the action-packed reveal trailer, the next must-see for shooter fans is already scheduled for June 13. On this day, EA will reveal proper gameplay for Battlefield 2042 for the first time.
So mark that day in your calendar if you want to know if DICE can convince with real gameplay just as it did with brutal cutscenes.
Where will the Battlefield 2042 gameplay be shown? It is currently firmly believed that the gameplay reveal will take place during the E3 2021 – one of the most important video game expos of the year. This runs from June 12 to 15 and will feature several shows on the mentioned Saturday.
First gameplay is likely to be shown as part of the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase. Xbox has already confirmed on Twitter that more of Battlefield 2042 will be shown there. We at MeinMMO will be live-tweeting the event and providing you with the latest information immediately.
