The number of players keeps falling
The number of players shows that something has to change. As we reported a few days ago, the new low of Under 1,000 concurrent players on Steam been reached. Of course, one mustn’t forget the players who play via the Origin launcher, but it’s still not a good sign.
Even the predecessors like Battlefield 5 or Battlefield 4 are currently being played by more players. Another sign that patch 4.0 is even more important for DICE to bring lost fans back on board. It remains to be seen whether this will work and whether the changes will be sufficient. After all, almost six months after the release, season 1 has not even started.

Battlefield 2042 – Release Verdict: Unfinished and out with it!
The next Battlefield part is said to be in the works
New part already in progress: According to industry insider Tom Henderson, internal work on the seventh part has already started. However, the majority of the team continues to work on Battlefield 2042 in order to release the promised four seasons for the players. The seventh part should also only be in the early conception phase, which is why there is no official information yet.
In our news we have listed all the speculations that Tom Henderson has announced for you. However, it remains to be seen whether these will come true. At least the team should have learned from the failure and want to do a lot differently with the next Battlefield title.
