Even Dr Disrespect was hoping that EA and DICE will finally confirm a Battle Royale mode in Battlefield 2042. Just like million other fans, he was disappointed when the developers didn’t even mention the topic during the latest reveal.

However, none of these games have been able to maintain their success for a long time.

Fortnite has been out for four years now, and a huge part of its community has already quit it. This even includes the likes of Ninja and Tfue, who were once considered the best players in the world.

Similarly, there has been an abundance of hackers and cheaters in Call of Duty Warzone lately. Moreover, the latest Verdansk’84 map still resembles the original map a lot, and has been unable to attract the attention of many.

It is self-evident that Warzone and Fortnite aren’t as popular as they used to be. BR patrons have been eagerly searching for a new game, and Battlefield 2042 can certainly take this place.

EA and DICE might be planning to release a BR mode post-launch
