New Battlefield Game Concept Art
The concept art for the newBattlefieldgame seems to confirm vehicles such as helicopters and ships, and the use of natural disasters as a gameplay mechanic.Battlefield 2042used natural disasters and weather eventsin its gameplay, so it seems that it may be returning for the new game, with the concept art clearly showing a forest landscape covered in flames.
While that particular feature fromBattlefield 2042may potentially be returning for the newBattlefieldgame, other features from the controversial 2021 release won’t be carried over to the new project.Battlefield 2042Specialists are being kicked to the curb, with the newBattlefieldseemingly taking a more traditional approach to the franchise’s multiplayer battles.
