  "account": "Battlefield 6 will host a Dead Space themed event in the lead-up to Halloween, according to EA and Dice. The event, described as \"non-canon,\" will allow developers to incorporate elements they see fit, such as Necromorphs in Area 51. The idea for the crossover was hinted at earlier in the week, with the alien monument The Marker appearing in the shooter's Vegas trailer. Players will venture to the end of the shooter's Vegas trailer to uncover secret tech hidden beneath Area 51. The event will feature assets from the Dead Space remake and players will be able to unlock unique cosmetics upon participating, starting on October 20 and ending on November 7. Battlefield Studios' general manager, Patrick Klaus, expressed gratitude for the community's support, highlighting the year's achievements and looking forward to the upcoming Season 5. The new season of Battlefield 6 will see players engage in combat across the Vegas strip, with three new maps set in and around Las Vegas.",
