DICE reaffirms its commitment to add more content to Battlefield 2042 next year

DICE has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Battlefield 2042 for the long term, including new seasons for next year 2023.

Developer EA announced that Season 5 of the game has entered pre-production, which goes beyond the mandatory four seasons of content it owed to Year 1 Battle Pass subscribers.

“Across our team as we continue to focus on Battlefield 2042, we have a mix of veteran developers alongside those working on their first game that is breathing new life”affirms DICE in its last blog post.

Interestingly, DICE has said that it will build on elements from previous games to increase the depth of Battlefield 2042: “In Season 5 you will see us lean on previous games and how they can appear in the world of 2042.”

“The upcoming new Season 5 map will be a forgotten battlefield that last saw combat in the Battlefield 4 era. An area overgrown, shrouded in vegetation, and by the war of 2042. It will encourage a mix of vehicular combat and infantry, which means team play is key. to victory.”

We also got some details on Season 4, which will feature a map that will be “smaller, shorter, and more linear designed for the close, personal, melee combat that Battlefield is famous for.”

Since the game’s disastrous launch in November 2021, EA has reshaped Battlefield development, bringing in supporting studios Industrial Toys, Ripple Effect Studios, and Ridgeline Studios, with the franchise led by Respawn’s Vince Zampella.
