Nothing confirmed yet but we would be kind of surprised if it didn’t ship with the release of the full game on November 19th, or certainly around that date so ease the pressure on the servers.DICE has seemingly adapted well to what its playerbase looks for in its games and has dropped the pursuit of a Battle Royale mode. To be honest, we aren’t really sure when becoming a Battle Royale became frowned upon, but more and more companies seem keen to distance themselves from the playstyle When will Battlefield 2042 Hazard Mode be released? Well almost certainly to an extent but it’s certainly not being pitched as one. There’s really really tight squadplay, tight communication is important, and (it) is built around the tension-filled gameplay.” Is Hazard Mode a Battle Royale? “We are a squad-based teamplay shooter, and there’s no other space within 2042 where the choices you make in terms of specialists, weapons, and gadgets - there’s such an incredibly high importance in this mode.

This name at least suggests that it is a specific areal / zone of the game, that’s well, er hazardous. It’s very definitely a mode called Battlefield Hazard Zone even though many people continue to search for Hazrd Mode. Even at this stage we still know relatively little about the new mode, but what we do know is getting us pretty excited that it could be something special. Battlefield 2042 developer DICE has previously discussed in limited detail a new mode coming to the game known as Hazard Zone.
