Battlefield: Earth

Battlefield: Earth is a first-person shooter video game developed by EA DICE and published by Electronic Arts. It is an installment of the Battlefield game series and the first to include science fiction elements and have a Teen rating. It also takes inspiration from the L. Ron Hubbard novel, Battlefield Earth, and its negatively reviewed film adaptation. It will be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with the versions released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X released with the subtitle, Ultimate Edition.

Gameplay
The game plays the same as other games in the franchise, with the player shooting and fighting enemies to complete objectives with new elements consisting of laser weapons and knives based on the lightsabers from the Star Wars films. The enemies in the game are robots, Battle Drones, and other machines before facing off against the villain. In the space battle, the player will pilot a space-resistant suit and destroy the pods, a first in the franchise's history.

Players can also battle in multiplayer modes including a Battle Royale mode that will be exclusive to the Ultimate Edition.

Loot boxes are available in this game, either for purchase using its in-game currency or finding them in random locations throughout the game.

Story
After the events of one of the Battlefield games, drones sent by Volte start invading the Earth, forcing the fourth game's protagonist, Daniel Recker, to fight his way through the planet and take the battle to space with the help of his partner, a woman who crash landed on Earth and leads a resistance force.
