Generally speaking, we haven’t seen Battlefield explore the collaboration space in the same way that Call of Duty has. The military shooter is still very much a military shooter, and doesn’t feature skins that turn characters into Mecha-Godzilla, Cheech and Chong, or Homelander, but perhaps this will eventually be the case. Because EA has decided to tap one of its other popular franchises for a crossover in Battlefield 2042.
Dead Space is coming to the shooter in the form of a new limited-time event next week (between July 9 and 16) that will revolve around a new themed game mode, but will feature a few cosmetics to boot.
The mode is called Outbreak and will see squads testing “their human resilience and resourcefulness against a new and relentless enemy all while trying to escape the Boreas laboratory.”
As per the cosmetics, for partaking in the event you can net yourself a new weapon charm and skin, plus a new player card background and tag. For those looking for something extra, a Dead Space bundle will be in the store and containing a legendary specialist outfit called Marked Man that makes your character look like Isaac Clarke. The bundle will cost 2,200 BFC.
