It has been revealed that Battlefield 2042 will receive a 10-hour trial via EA Play and Xbox Game Pass and members of EA Play, including those with Xbox Game Pass, will be able to start playing this coming November 12th of 2021.
This was revealed as part of a look at Battlefield 2042’s Portal mode where the portal will be a customizable toolkit that will allow players to create their own game modes. The mode, created by Ripple Effect Studios (formerly DICE LA), is described as a “love letter to the series.”
Players is said that they will be able to share their experiences with the Battlefield 2042 community on Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and PC through this mode.
According to EA, they will provide default experiences live in-game starting at launch that will allow players to relive these classic maps, alongside their classic factions, gadgets, equipped with the weapons, and classes that brought them to life and that portal will have five game modes available at launch: Conquest Large, Conquest, Rush, Free-For-All, and Team Deathmatch, with 128 maps to choose from.
EA has also released a detailed look at how the game can be customized, which you can find here.
This is the latest Battlefield 2042 news, following the announcement last month of a new mode called Hazard Zone, in which four-player teams compete to recover intel, similar to The Division’s The Dark Zone.
