There will be two big varieties of maps coming to Battlefield 2042, in the primary game, and in Battlefield Portal. Battlefield Portal is your chance to have various matchups starring your favorite Battlefield armies, pitting them against each other in whatever creative format you can conjure. While you won’t be able to modify the mechanics of a map directly, you’ll be able to place nearly any Battlefield army against another featured from throughout the Battlefield franchise. In this guide, we’re going to detail all maps in Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield Portal.
These are only a handful of the ones we’ve discovered so far, and we can expect a much larger variety to be introduced leading up to Battlefield 2042’s release on October 22.
Battlefield 2042
Breakaway
Fire and ice collide in Breakaway, where oil extraction has turned the frigid environment into a heated climate disaster. In this dynamic map, don’t be surprised to find destructible fuel tanks you can use to clear a path through a fortified enemy position.
Discarded
Discarded features massive ships that once roamed the seas have been permanently docked to be stripped down for spare parts. It’s been transformed into a warzone where players will be diving between the ships to avoid the dangerous storms brewing in the region.
Hourglass
Keep your eyes open as you make your way through Hourglass, wherein Doha, Qatar, region has nearly been devoured by the sand by rampaging storms. Unfortunately, you’ll be hard-pressed to find the enemies around you, and it’ll be even more difficult to find your allies.
Kaleidoscope
A modern city will be filled with rapid-fire firefights in Kaleidoscope, Songo, South Korea. You can use ziplines to make it between the buildings, but you’ll want to move fast and keep your head down low to avoid the deadly snipers waiting for you to take the plunge.
Manifest
If you thought wind storms were bad enough, Manifest gives you the chance to test your luck in dodging these rain-filled storms. The location of Manifest takes place in Singapore, in a vital American supply port.
Oribital
The rocket is about to launch into the air on the Orbital map, meaning you want to reach a safe place before it goes off. But the impending rocket launch isn’t the only thing you need to be careful of, and there are plenty of impending storms rampaging in the region that you might find yourself thrown up into the sky.
Renewal
Renewal was the attempt to bring back manufactured agriculture to a desert-torn Egypt, with a wall right at the center separating the two, which is right in the middle of the map. You’ll be battling in the harsh deserts, alongside the lush fields, diving between buildings to try and survive.
