Just a few days ago, DICE unveiled the remaining Specialists set to be playable in Battlefield 2042 come launch. One of the said Specialists revealed was Emma “Sundance” Rosier, which we can now confirm is a non-binary when it comes to gender.

This was confirmed by DICE Community Manager Adam Freeman over on Twitter. When asked if Sundance was non-binary given the way pronouns were used, Freeman confirmed this.
Yep. Sundance is non-binary and uses the Pronouns They/Them.

For those not familiar with non-binary (short explanation is that it is a gender identity that is neither male or female), you can read up on it here.
Now, for those who played the Battlefield 2042 beta, and found that reviving teammates were a tad too slow, and felt a bit off, rejoice! DICE Core Gameplay Designer Florian Le Bihan has confirmed that not only are revives faster, but they offer “better feedback” as well, which is something that was sorely needed. I forgot how many times I revived someone and I wasn’t sure if it worked or not until after I see my teammate stand back up again.
Yes, many changes to make this experience faster with better feedback too 🙂

Battlefield 2042 will be out this November 19 on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Now I can feel even better shooting that Specialist in the face!
Funny how a game about war needs to include a persons identity. All bf 2042 players are relieved now that we know she is non binary. Oh Lord thank you for letting me kno this black women identitfies as They/Them. ad to see dice is woke….LOL
Bunch of weirdos if you ask me. Why is this even being discussed? Society is loosing it, and dice is made up of some snowflake weirdos. Focus on making the game playable. I could care less what “GENDER” my imaginary character wants to identify as. Regardless of some “peoples” beliefs, you’re either born a MAN or a WOMAN.
jjkk
Well this makes one less specialist I’ll play. I won’t be using my “Mom” the medic either. Did they do a survey and ask if “Grandma” and “Non-Binary” skins are wanted? If they did I’d love to meet the people that voted for them.
Glad I won’t being using her.
Can’t Wait to shoot this weirdo
Why is basic biology and science so hard for leftists?
bro gender is not the same as sex
Are u KIDDING ME, u saying that I’m not able to change the outfit on that specialist? That’s bs and sundance come on looks like no worrier more like Sunday home wife
Dice and EA are so out of touch with reality. They listen only to Twitter. I was stoked at first because the art and feel of the game was going back to battlefield 4, but it seems they want to continue rolling that woke train straight into lost wages. Well screw. Got my refund and will probably never touch a game from them so long as they continue to pander to people who don’t even play these kinds of games. Pandering in a pvp war game. It’s so.. .God I hate modern post gamergate video game developers.
It’s cool, yes (and also hilarious seeing conservatives get triggered at their game adding the very basic concept of a nonbinary person), but imo specialists are kinda… Not great for this game.
This game feels way more like COD now, we lost seemingly half the stuff that Battlefield is known for (especially large scale combat, interactivity, crazy destructible environments, and varied playstyles).
Especially so now that tons of class-specific weapon mechanics are now just gone. The on the fly customization thing is cool but like why should anyone use sniper/recon now? You lost half the “sniper” utility stuff like tripod, zeroing/muzzle velocity, and different scope stuff.
part of the fun of battlefield snipers was always being able to zero out your shot and hit someone from like 700 meters away or some shit, and now it’s just Widowmaker.
Why does the sexuality of a character matter in a damn video game?
I’m really disappointed in you dice like WTF I thought you be better than this grow up and focus on what matters.
