Battlefield 2042’s Hazard Zone mode might be inspired by Escape from Tarkov

Battlefield 2042 is launching soon. But publisher Electronic Arts and developer DICE still have a few things left to tell fans about the game before its October 22 release. For one, a beta test is coming September 22, according to sources familiar with the game. And another key selling point is its marquee new game mode, Hazard Zone.

DICE has previously mentioned Hazard Zone, which it describes as a “high-stakes, squad-based game.” But the company plans to hold off on more details until after the beta. This has led some fans to speculate that the mode could mimic other popular online shooters like Warzone or possibly Escape From Tarkov.
