The third gameplay mode prepared by DICE for Battlefield 2042, Hazard Zone, has been finally unveiled. Ahead of the public reveal, we were provided with plenty of detailed information on this brand new mode for the Battlefield franchise.

The backstory of Hazard Zone begins in the game's 2040 when a global blackout event suddenly reduces the number of satellites by around 70%. From that moment onward, the US and Russia begin to launch so-called temporary satellites to gather intel such as aerial photography, heat map imagery, ID scanning, and more.
