Earlier today during EA Play Live, developers announced that Battlefield 2042 will come equipped with an exciting new game-style called Battlefield Portal. Battlefield Portal will be available alongside the launch of Battlefield 2042 later this year and will incorporate the 7 new maps from Battlefield 2042 as well as 6 classic maps, optimized for ninth-gen performance and graphics from games such as Battlefield 1942, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3.
• Battle of the Bulge and El Alamein from Battlefield 1942
• Arica Harbor and Valparaiso from Battlefield: Bad Company 2
• Caspian Border and Noshahr Canals from Battlefield 3
In addition, Battlefield Portal is introducing an unrivalled custom content creation experience, allowing players to generate new and unique Battlefield experiences with the entire Battlefield toy box at their disposable. These experiences can be shared with the community through a web-based platform (also available on smart devices) for both console and PC players.
Customizable features include:
At launch, Battlefield Portal invites players to re-live some of the greatest moments in the history of the franchise with signature gameplay experiences reimagined for ninth-generation performance.
As well as official experiences, players will be able to share their custom Battlefield Builder creations with each other. It’s as simple as finding a game that interests you by browsing a rotating series of featured experiences build by the Battlefield community.
Battlefield 2042 will be available on October 22, 2021, on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 with an open beta launching in September for players across all platforms.
