Season 4 is again going to a very dry area, this time to South Africa.
Season 4 of Battlefield 2042 will probably be released soon, insiders speak of February 28th as the planned release date. Shortly before the start of the big update 3.2, there is now more information about the content of Season 4. A dataminer shows us new pictures of the upcoming map.
This is what Flashpoint should look like
Well-known Battlefield insider Temporyal tweeted us images of various areas of the new map, which is apparently going to be called Flashpoint, and also lists various key locations on the map:

It is apparently an industrial site in South Africa with construction sites and a huge tunnel. Among other things, you should fight in the following areas:
- A huge tunnel, which is still under construction. This was already visible on the first official image of the map:
This is just a concept, so the map may look a little different in game.
- A fuel processing plant
- warehouses and maintenance areas
- A reactor
- A water treatment plant
It is not yet known exactly what kind of facility the complex is. According to DICE, however, the map should be smaller than previous ones and, above all, allow fights at short distances. Vehicles will probably not be able to penetrate into the underground areas.
How reliable is the information? The dataminer Temporyal has correctly predicted a lot of new content for Battlefield 2042 in the past and apparently only uses information that it discovers in the game files. Although the developers’ plans can change for a short time and content can be deleted or come later, in this case the new map has already been confirmed by the developers:

What else does Season 4 bring?
Many details are not yet known here, but Season 4 should correspond to the previous seasons in terms of scope. We get in addition to the card, there is also a new specialistwhich fits into the new class system as a scout, as well as new weapons, some of which are carried over from Battlefield Portal to the standard game modes.
But there are also some completely new shooting irons. In addition, there is of course a Battle Pass. There will probably also be another event, like last time in Season 3:
