Electronic Arts announced yesterday that Battlefield 2042 Season 6: Dark Creations will debut on October 10 on the PC and consoles. And I managed to gets some hands-on gameplay with the game.

I played on the map called Redacted, which is a long map as far as Battlefield goes. It’s all indoors, but the map has both main pathways and narrow side corridors that you can use to outflank your enemies. You can see gameplay from one of my matches embedded in this story.
