With Battlefield 2021 set to be revealed this coming June 9, it looks like EA has started the marketing campaign, as cryptic messages are being sent via Twitter DMs (direct messages) to content creators!
Over on Twitter, the official Battlefield Twitter account sent messages to YouTubers JackFrags, PeterSMK2, Lirik and more! Here are the messages that was sent over:
As you can see, the complete message is all garbled, though the direct messages sent all have different parts where the sentences are edited out. Per Reddit user Zerevay, here’s what the entire thing says:
Some of you want to return home that most human of all instincts.
With a heavy heart, I must tell you the truth. War is the only way home.
The question we must ask ourselves now is:
Do we accept our fate? Or do we dare to fight for a better world?
MISSING PART
If you can fire a gun, if you can tend a wound, if you can cr havoc–
MISSING PART We need you.
War is the only way home.
Geeky Pastimes has also posted what seems to be the most complete form of the message so far:

I have no idea what that meas, but all I know is, war is coming and we need guns! Given how far off we are from the reveal, expect more messages and whatnot to surface in the coming days to build up hype.
Yep. Dumpster fire. Streamers/influencers are nothing but media shills. They do no have personalities, they do not have rational takes. It’s all to move a product. If that’s your go to for a marketing campaign, I smell a painfully generic game.
If this thing was actually going to be good, you’d be thrown straight into a first person perspective of a live match. Seeing all of the changes rather than being told a another buzzword for mildly altering old features and (for better or worse). God damn I hate how soulless this industry has become.
