With excitement building up for the next game from DICE and EA, many players have been following the progressive updates for Battlefield 2042. If you haven’t and want to catch up, check out the ‘Journey of the No-Pats’ to discover the locations of the game. That journey has led anticipating players to the short film that reveals the story elements that build up the plot of the next game in the Battlefield series.

Witness the return of Kimble “Irish” Graves, played by Michael K. Williams, as a playable No-Pat Specialist. He is the fifth specialist to be revealed, following Wikus “Casper” Van Daele, Pyotr “Boris” Guskovsky, Maria Falck, and Webster Mackay, of the ten total specialists that will be available at launch. Each Specialist comes with a specific gadget and trait that can only be used by that character, further defining their respective playstyles. Players can also freely choose what weapon, grenade or secondary gadget to equip each Specialist with, providing more freedom to create a unique loadout for each Specialist that fits every playstyle.

Exodus also introduces the mysterious “Oz,” who clashes with Irish over the future of the No-Pats and sows the seeds of conflict. The narrative will continue to evolve over time as more Specialists join the conflict, each with their own story to tell. This time, the narrative will be told in an all-new way for the franchise, offering players a compelling world seen through the eyes of the Specialists and their experiences on the battlefield.
