![]() It feels like a lot of story build-up that may not actually impact the game. We do know that new maps and Specialists will be added with each season, and perhaps they will play into the overarching narrative more, but - right now - for players like myself who actually enjoy the narrative elements of FPS games (I know, right?) it feels like there should be more to grab on to. Perhaps EA Dice is holding back a bit on its plans. While I was expecting to be told that the live service element of Battlefield 2042’s All-Out War experience will mean that maps will shift to reflect narrative progression, instead I was told that characters will have a bit of a chat about events before they’re deployed into a match - and maybe during the game. It’s a riveting film and immediately had me intrigued as to how the rivalry between Battlefield’s version of Professor X and Magneto will play out in-game, especially without a specific campaign mode.īut, unfortunately, when I asked EA Dice about how we will see the narrative and characters like Oz and Irish integrated into gameplay, there wasn’t much in the way of a solid answer. The short film sees Oz attacking the Exodus following a disagreement with Irish and ends with Irish telling his No-Pat comrades to prepare for war. EA Dice compared the rivalry to that of X-Men’s Professor Xavier and Magneto: same goal, vastly different approaches. According to EA Dice, Irish’s return acts as somewhat of a bridge for players between the modern world and the world of Battlefield 2042.īut while Irish is fighting for a better world for the displaced No-Pats, ideally with as few casualties as possible, the enigmatic Oz (an allusive puppet master) has a similar goal, but his approach is considerably more extreme: burning the old world down and starting anew. The film reintroduces Battlefield 4’s Kimble “Irish” Graves, played by The Wire’s Michael K Williams, who is now the Captain of a Non-Pat refugee ship called the Exodus and will be a playable Specialist in the game. ![]() The Exodus short film acts as a narrative precursor to the all-out war we’ll be experiencing in the new Battlefield, providing more depth to the story and world of Battlefield 2042.
