In the latest trailer for Battlefield 2042, DICE has revealed a first look at three new multiplayer maps; Breakaway, Discarded, and Renewal. During the game’s Open Beta, only a single map was available to play on. Now, fans have gotten to see a glimpse of what the action will be like on three more.
Three New Battlefield 2042 Maps
When Battlefield 2042 launches on the 12th of November, a total of seven maps will be available to play. While the names of these maps were announced with the game’s first trailer, fans have only gotten to see screenshots or scant seconds of footage in trailers. This latest gameplay trailer offers a more extended look at three of the seven maps which fans haven’t been able to get a proper look at yet.
The first of these maps is Breakaway, which takes place on the frozen shores of Antarctica, at Queen Maud Land. “Tread carefully on this dynamic map,” writes DICE; “where oil extraction has turned the freezing area to a strategic hot spot. Take advantage of destructible fuel tanks and silos that create debris fields and permanent fires when destroyed”. Battlefield has long been known for its dynamic and destructible environments. However, DICE appears to be emphasising that aspect more than ever before in Battlefield 2042.
The next new map which features in the trailer is Discarded. This map takes place in the ship-breaking yards of Alang, on the west coast of India. On this map, players must battle within and between several massive tankers, which are in various states of disassembly on the beach. This results in several open areas broken up by the towering wall-like sides of the ships, which also offer vantage points for snipers.
Finally, the new trailer shows off a first look at Renewal, in the Egyptian desert. “A giant wall, built to secure rich, man-made agricultural areas,” explains DICE; “takes centre stage on this intense map. Prepare for the extreme conditions, deploy, and secure the access points and massive gates in the wall”.
