Battlefield Portal May be the Revolution That the Brand Needs

Batttlefield Portal may be the revolution that the brand needed since many years. During the Battlefield 2042 presentation at EA Play Live, Ripple Effect (former DICE LA) revealed an in-game social network platform available to all players. For free, obviously.

In addition to the main online mode - Total War - BF2042 will also offer Battlefield Portal, which will enable us to create multiplayer games on our own terms. A sandbox will be at our disposal, enabling us to modify not only the settings, but also game logic (based on scripts) presented in a friendly form of blocks. If based on what was shown at the conference, we should have a huge amount of options, and the game is unlikely to cause too many problems.

Portal will enable us to freely mix content from the earlier installments. The video showed soldiers from Battlefield V clashing with modern fighters on the map Caspian Border from the third installment. Devs at Ripple Effect and Electronic Arts assure that they have taken the player criticism after the launch of Battlefield 1 and Battlefield V to heart. Each of the maps available in this mode will be made compatible with the latest version of the Frostbite engine,which means gigantic scope of skirmishes, great visuals and destruction on unprecedented scale.

Battlefield 2042 – post-release support

That's not all, however. If for some reason the basic online mode and Battlefield Portal do not appeal to you, there will be a third option available after the game's debut. We're talking about Danger Zone. Electronic Arts calls it an "all-new team mode," making it clear that this is no classic battle royale we know from Battlefield V's Operation Firestorm.

Battlefield 2042 will be available for testing during the open beta, which was moved to September this year. The title will debut on October 22, 2021 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Those who decide to pre-order the game can expect early access to the full version.
