Battlefield 2042 Release Date
Battlefield 2042 will launch on 19th November, 2021. In addition to Conquest, the game will also include Battlefield Portal, in which players will be able to host servers. These player hosted servers can run custom games or use preset modes, like Conquest, Team Deathmatch, Rush, and other popular modes. These servers are created when you make a match and then shut down once the server is empty.
