With EA and DICE firmly in Season 4 for Battlefield 2042, they are looking to bring some excitement with a new two-week-long in-game event. This event is entitled “Leviathan Rising” and it all starts tomorrow, April 11th until April 25th @ 5am PT / 12pm UTC.
The event will include a new two-round, 8v8 16-player Shutdown Mode, where attackers and defenders can swap sides at the end of each 10-15 minute match. The smaller infantry-focused layouts will be accessible on the Flashpoint, Exposure, Manifest, and Stranded maps.
If you don’t know, Shutdown Mode is a pure tactics game mode where every second of objective play counts, Shutdown’s high-stakes competitive gameplay features a Battlefield twist - with classes, complex loadouts, specialists, and transport vehicles all combining meaningfully - and player-deployed objectives to make every round feel different. The unique side-swapping ensures players see both sides of the battle, creating equal winning chances for squad play and class play.
During the two weeks, players will be able to earn free rewards and can purchase store bundles, in addition to a plethora of cosmetics, including legendary outfits and weapons skins, as well as epic outfits, weapon skips, and vehicle skins. You can check out all the details for this event on the official blog.
Battlefield 2042 is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. It is also available via Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass, and EA Play.
