It looks like Battlefield 2042 will be getting a seasonal holiday event that will pit Team Santa against zombie-like Elves.

Battlefield news site Bravo Intel reports that the 32-player infection-style Attack of the Elves game type will be playable in Battlefield 2042's Portal mode starting December 16 through January 6.

Not much else is currently known about the mode, but it does line up with recent comments from developer DICE on the Battlefield 2042's leaked, and controversial, Santa Claus skin. Decried by many fans for being too goofy, the official Battlefield Communications Twitter account went on to clarify that many of the holiday-themed skins players had discovered in the game's files were created for specific Portal mode event game types, and that not all of them would see widespread use. Considering the theme of the upcoming holiday event, it certainly seems likely the skin will be used for players on the Santa-side of the Attack of the Elves game type, but fans will have to wait for more details to know for sure.
