Rumor: Battlefield 6 cover art leak reveals \u2018Battlefield 2042\u2019 title Electronic ArtsA new series of leaks related to Electronic Arts\u2019 next Battlefield title, known up to this point simply as Battlefield 6, indicate that the franchise\u2019s next installment could actually be titled \u2018Battlefield 2042.\u2019 Rumors about EA\u2019s next Battlefield title have swamped the internet in the months since the first hints of the game began to emerge. With an official reveal event scheduled for June 9, the hype and speculation surrounding the game have risen to new levels. Ahead of EA\u2019s official event, new potential leaks have emerged pointing towards an official title that many weren\u2019t expecting. Despite previous assumptions that the game would simply be called Battlefield 6, a piece of leaked artwork is now indicating the game will bear the name \u2018Battlefield 2042.\u2019 The latest Battlefield leaks came after information from Tom Henderson\u2019s Discord server \u2014 Tom being a well-known leaker who has shared information about the upcoming title in the past \u2014 was posted to Reddit. While the post\u2019s titled referred to Battlefield 6, it quickly pointed to a new, shared title: Battlefield 2042. Information from the leak indicated that the game is set \u201c20 years after Battlefield 4,\u201d which would land its setting right around that 2042 timeframe. Unclear if this is real at this point, but this image is popping up on Reddit\/Twitter. https:\/\/t.co\/UI0md51wxy \u2014 Battlefield News (@bravoINTEL) June 5, 2021 Another piece of apparently leaked evidence began to circulate on social media that appeared to corroborate that information: a screenshot of what a leaker claimed was the cover art for the next game, which clearly displayed the title \u2018Battlefield 2042.\u2019 As these leaks purportedly originated from his Discord server, Henderson took to Twitter and issued a series of comments regarding the latest round of information spreading amongst fans. He shared that after digging into the leak further, the new 2042 image seemed to come from a different location than other leaked files, and Henderson noted that \u201calthough this doesn\u2019t prove or disprove anything, I would approach [the new leak] with caution.\u201d EA has described this Battlefield title as \u201cnear future\u201d internally \u2013 So a 2042 setting is definitely plausible. \u2014 Tom Henderson (@_Tom_Henderson_) June 5, 2021 Despite urging fans to take the latest leaks with a grain of salt, Henderson did reiterate that EA has already discussed the next Battlefield title\u2019s setting as the \u201cnear future,\u201d and while it hasn\u2019t officially been confirmed, \u201ca 2042 setting is definitely plausible.\u201d Several shrewd fans also pointed to another link between the proposed 2042 title, and an older Battlefield game: Battlefield 2142. Both end with 42, and fans also noticed that Battlefield 2142 was released in 2006 \u2014 putting its debut exactly 15 years before this year\u2019s Battlefield release. Despite the information suggested by these leaks, the next game\u2019s official title will likely remain a mystery until EA\u2019s event on June 9.
