Lots of us have been having our fun with Battlefield 6 these past few weekends, and with the beta now wrapped up and all eyes on launch, the team has added a bunch of classic content to Battlefield 2042 to tie fans over - including a stone cold classic BF map.
That map is the World War 2-themed Iwo Jima, which has been present in Battlefield 1942, Battlefield 1943 and Battlefield V. This fan-favourite level returns "on a reimagined 700x200 map" that "features boat landings, bunkers and trenches" to immerse you in its OG Battlefield roots. Here's a quick look at Iwo Jima in Battlefield 2042:

To carry on with that nostalgic BF theme, a free 60-tier battle pass makes its debut here too, containing "over 50 new rewards inspired by Battlefield 1, Battlefield V, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4". While these freebies are mainly for 2042, it's worth noting that EA has snuck a bunch of Battlefield 6 rewards into this battle pass as well - so it could be worth booting 2042 up for some day one BF6 goodies!
"30 exclusive rewards for Battlefield 6 spread across 6 Tiers that will be available at launch. Earn these exclusive Battlefield 6 rewards at Tier 8, 19, 30, 40, 49, and 60 of the Free Battlepass!"
The final Battlefield 2042 additions here are two new weapons and two new vehicles; the KFS2000 Assault Rifle and Lynx Sniper Rifle on the gun front, and the A10 Warthog and SU-25TM Frogfoot arrive as a pair of new jets. All of these new goodies are dubbed 'The Road to Battlefield 6' as EA prepares to move on from 2042 and begin a new era for the franchise.
