Publisher Electronic Arts has revealed the next Battlefield 2042 event, Leviathan Rising, which will include a plethora of new features. Leviathan Rising will run from April 11-25, and will include a new 16-player 8v8 mode called Shutdown.
This new close-quarters mode will take place over the course of two rounds and will feature a side-swapping mechanic–allowing players to attack or defend at will. Matches typically last 10-15 minutes and send players into their opponent’s base to plant and protect Lances; the defending team must attempt to eliminate Lance-carriers, and disable Lances if planted.
Shutdown will be featured on various maps including Manifest, Exposure, Stranded, and Flashpoint.
