Battlefield 2042 takes place 22 years after the events of Battlefield 4. Unlike previous installments, it does not have a single-player campaign. Instead, the story is told through multiplayer gameplay. Decades of devastation caused by collapsing economies, rising sea levels and broken alliances (including the collapse of the European Union due to Germany’s bankruptcy and subsequent refugees known as “No-Pats”) come to a peak in 2040 when a Kessler syndrome event occurs, causing 70% of orbiting satellites to crash to Earth. The resulting permanent global blackout causes tensions between the United States and Russia to skyrocket, with war breaking out by the year 2042.
Outside of multiplayer gameplay, the story is also told on Electronic Arts’ official website for Battlefield 2042. A standalone short film titled Exodus, which depicts events leading up to the War of 2042 and features returning Battlefield 4 character Irish, premiered on August 12, 2021, via Battlefield’s YouTube channel.
