Battlefield 4's World

Battlefield 4 largely occurs during a fictional world in the year 2020. During the events in that game, the world narrowly avoids a full blown three-nation war between Russia, the United States, and China.

Although players are given a choice to select between Irish and another character that results in their death, the canonical ending would be that Irish lives if 2042's is indeed a sequel to Battlefield 4.
