Battlefield Mobile has appeared on the Google Play store
DICE stated earlier this year that it was planned for 2022
A listing for Battlefield Mobile has appeared on the Google Play store.
The listing doesn’t allow the game to be downloaded yet, but gives full information on the game and its features.
According to the game’s description, Battlefield mobile will include large-scale battles, destructible environments, a range of game modes and customisable classes with unique “hero” characters.
“You and your crew will press the assault on maps and modes both new and familiar to veteran players”, the description reads.
“Build a loadout of authentic weapons and game-changing gadgets. Fight for control of powerful vehicles like tanks and ATVs. Destroy the field of battle with large-scale environmental destruction. Combat abilities are always growing and at scale, granting you the capacity for mass warfare.
“Across all game modes, you’ll experience the same wild situations and explosive spectacles Battlefield is famous for. Whether it’s outrunning a collapsing tower on your ATV, parachuting off a building while firing a rocket launcher, or burying your enemies under the rubble of a building you destroyed with your tank, every match is unforgettable.”
Players can choose between Assault, Support, Medic and Recon classes, then build their own custom loadout across a selection of game modes including “multiplayer, objective and more”.
“Find your personal play style and customize your soldier to maximize their capabilities”, the description states. “Weapons, gadgets, skins and more can be personalized and upgraded to match your class and progress.
“War heroes with unique narratives prepare for battle, each with their own assignment. Learn their stories, immerse yourself in the war and stand out on the battlefield with the best customization to date.”
DICE initially confirmed that a mobile Battlefield game was in development back in April, but at the time it claimed that the game was due in 2022.
“It’s always been our vision to bring Battlefield to more platforms,” said DICE general manager Oskar Gabrielson at the time. “So, after years of prototyping, I’m super happy to be able to let you know that our friends at Industrial Toys, working closely with all of us here at DICE, are developing a completely new Battlefield game bringing all-out warfare to smartphones and tablets in 2022.”
“Make no mistake, this is a standalone game. A completely different game from the one we’re making for console and PC, designed specifically for the mobile platform.”
“It’s being built from the ground up by iToys to make Battlefield-on-the-go a reality and you can expect a fully-fledged, skill-based experience. This mobile game is now entering a testing period ahead of launching next year, so expect more details to come.”
Based on Gabrielson’s comments, it appears that the game may launch as a beta and may even soft launch in certain countries before properly releasing as a full product.
