As a live service game, Battlefield 2042 The standard pattern of regular content updates will be followed as part of each season that lasts several weeks. We still don’t have many details about the seasonal content of a particular brand of the game, but DICE is ready to share some tips.
As part of a report on the ongoing major reorganization of the Battlefield series-mainly by Respawn’s Vince Zampella, and EA’s interest in building a Battlefield World-we also learned about some of DICE’s plans for the end of this year, and 2022 The first quarter of the beginning of the year.
Although the first season of the game has no start date yet, we know it will start early next year. For this reason, DICE revealed to GameSpot that we can look forward to a new map.
According to DICE, this new map called Exposure will “take map design to a whole new level.” It is not clear what this means or where the map will be set. However, this sentence is very interesting, because Battlefield 2042 players have been asking for more infantry-focused maps, so this may be what the developers are referring to.
Of course, a new expert will be introduced every season, as well as new weapons and vehicles.
While we wait for more details on the first season of the game, DICE will make its debut in Battlefield 2042’s first limited-time event. Starting later this month, this mode will bring a 64-player version of conquest and breakthroughs for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. This is the default setting for the previous generation of consoles, but it will be the first time for PC and current console players to use a smaller number of players/smaller maps.
In the near future, we expect that there will be a final patch before the DICE holiday this year. This will be the fourth update after the release of Battlefield 2042, and it may be released as early as this week.
The patch will mainly bring more bug fixes and balance adjustments in response to community feedback. In case you missed it, here are all the updates from 0.3.0-Battlefield 2042’s biggest to date-brought to the game last week.
