2021’s Holidays season is filled with anticipated multiplayer shooter games, one of which isBattlefield 2042. DICE and Electronic Arts are delivering its most chaotic and action-packed multiplayer experience yet, and a series of gameplay trailers and videos are giving players reasons to be excited about the upcoming game. The latest trailer shows off new gameplay on three Battlefield 2042 multiplayer maps, which feature a wide range of environments and locations.

The three new maps are located in Egypt, Antarctica, and India, respectively, with Antarctica especially looking visually distinct and packed with mayhem. It’s too soon to tell exactly how these maps will play, but we spent plenty of time with theBattlefield 2042 betaand found lots to like about EA’s next first-person shooter.

Battlefield 2042 officially releases later this year on Nov. 19, 2021, with early access for some preorders going live on Nov. 12.
