Battlefield 2042 leaker claims battle royale will still \u201ccome in the near future\u201d EAIt was widely expected that Battlefield 2042 would launch with a battle royale mode to compete with its nearest rivals. It didn\u2019t, and EA have said multiple times that a BR isn\u2019t currently a focus. However, renowned leaker Tom Henderson has refuted these claims by suggesting that a Battlefield 2042 BR could arrive in the near future. Battle royale has had a huge impact on the gaming landscape with millions of players in need of their fix. PUBG arguably got the BR ball rolling, at least in terms of breaking through to the mainstream, and games like Apex Legends, Warzone, and Fortnite have sent the genre into the stratosphere. The concept remains insanely popular as we head towards 2022, and Battlefield 2042 might soon join in. EA\u2019s previous attempt to get Battlefield on the BR bullet train with Battlefield V\u2019s Firestorm mode was short-lived. However, EA have learned a lot since then, and BR might be the thing that Battlefield 2042 needs to gain some traction. The game is currently getting mixed feedback from fans due to a number of bugs and glitches stunting its potential. A lack of a campaign has also hurt the game, but Tom Henderson thinks that battle royale is a real possibility for Battlefield 2042. Here\u2019s everything we know so far. Contents When is the Battlefield 2042 battle royale release date? According to Tom Henderson, a potential Battlefield 2042 battle royale game \u201cwill come in the near future,\u201d but not in the next 6 months. For those unaware, Tom Henderson has become one of the industry\u2019s leading leakers for gaming news, with an impressive track record on the Battlefield franchise. He revealed a ton of info about Battlefield 2042 that turned out to be true, and the latest BR news came in one of Tom Henderson\u2019s YouTube videos. The leaker ran through a huge timeline of Battlefield 2042\u2019s development, the problems it\u2019s faced, and future plans. One of these subjects was the much-talked-about battle royale mode and Henderson said that one is coming, but EA and DICE are focusing on getting the rest of the game up-to-scratch first before adding in any extra work to build upon it. Battlefield 2042 battle royale leaks Tom didn\u2019t elaborate too much on the potential battle royale mode, but the words \u201cvague timeframe\u201d suggests that it could be some time off yet. Meaning there isn\u2019t too much to read into right now. The big mystery surrounding a BF 2042 mode is seeing how much EA learns from the mistakes of Firestorm. Touted as the next big thing in battle royale in Battlefield 5. By the time Firestorm was released, the player count was already very low compared to launch. It was also not free-to-play like other BR games as players needed a copy of BF 5 to play it. DICE soon gave up updating it, and Firestorm very quickly became an afterthought. If a Battlefield 2042 battle royale is to succeed, then you\u2019d think these mistakes cannot be repeated \u2013 although perhaps EA has learned from Apex Legends\u2019 successes, too. Given that all this information technically comes from a leak, it might be wise to take it with a pinch of salt.
