Will this be the Call of Duty killer? Will this new Battlefield be the best one yet? Gamers and franchise die-hards alike will see on Nov. 19 this year when Battlefield 2042 hits shelves and downloads. The Beta will be live on the 6th for pre-order players and on the 8-9 for everyone this month.

Brief release delay aside, new mechanics, new characters, new maps, and new adventures have games salivating at holiday debut of Battlefield 2042. This latest entry in the Battlefield series – developed by DICE studios and published by Electronic Arts – is going to have a lot of new things for fans this year. But there’s also bad news: the beta version has been delayed to an unknown date. Battlefield 2042 will come with a new mode, Battlefield Portal, where players are able to make whatever conflict theatre they want from World War 1 to the distant future.

Modes for Battlefield 

This Game will have All-Out Warfare where Next Gen players and PC players will be able to play up to 128 players and last-gen will have 64 players with Conquest and Breakthrough. Two new modes will drop with the game, Portal and Hazard Zone. Portal is a whole new mode where players can set their own objectives and missions. Hazard Zone is rumored to be a Battle Royal game mode. Fans and critics will see soon what this new mix of the best sandbox and edge-of-your-seat experiences are like.
