What the update lands on
The campaign is a single-player story told from the viewpoint of Private Park, a young soldier, while John Price works behind the scenes. Park's story moves from close-quarters fighting in New York to a car chase in Paris, then to a raid on Mumbai after dark.
Online team play includes 6-versus-6 matches, with modes about wiping out the other side and modes about capturing objectives. Twelve maps are in at launch, with locations inspired by South Korea, New York, Paris and Mumbai.
DMZ is the extraction mode. You drop into a hostile conflict zone solo or with a squad, take on missions, scavenge supplies and try to get out alive. Each deployment changes the conditions and the encounters, and you may run into other players as well as enemy forces. Supplies and equipment collected in the field can be brought back for use on the next deployment.
The Switch 2 version supports Joy-Con 2 mouse controls, gyro controls and handheld mode.
Some modes and features require an internet connection and a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership.
