In a recent interview with Eurogamer, when asked about the lack of single-player mode in Battlefield 2042, the design director Daniel Berlin had this to say – “If you look at the DNA of the studio, what we’ve been doing for so long, we just said you know what, we’re not going to have a traditional single-player campaign this time around, but we’re going to put all that emphasis and all those resources into building depth into the multiplayer. Because that is what we do best.”

It is set in the post apocalyptic future where a humanitarian crisis is brought about by climate change, with nomadic refugees known as the Non – Patriated or No-Pats take up arms as the US and Russia engage in an all out war, with maps covering all the different parts of the world. Battlefield 2042 is set to release on 22nd October this year.
