Battlefield 2042 shocker: new season drops March 2024

Dec 15, 2023 11:50 AM

Defying expectations, DICE has announced that "Battlefield 2042" will receive Season 7 in March 2024, venturing into the game's third year, which is unprecedented for the Battlefield series. Players can look forward to "a massive Season packed with a whole load of fresh content" that notably includes multiple new maps, shifting from the tradition of single new map introductions in earlier seasons. This update hints at a significant expansion rather than a diminishing update typical of a game's lifecycle end. Furthermore, the popular Holiday Protocol event is currently active, offering players new modes and weekly rewards. The continued development of "Battlefield 2042" follows a resurgence in player activity, although numbers have declined, with "Battlefield 5" currently holding the top spot on Steam within the series.

Will Battlefield 2042's Season 7 bring entirely new maps or remakes?

While DICE hasn't specified the nature of the maps, the term "fresh content" suggests that Season 7 could include entirely new battlefields. However, there is always a possibility that remakes of maps from previous Battlefield games could be part of the package as well.

The promise of fresh content certainly has me optimistic for completely new and innovative landscapes in Battlefield 2042's forthcoming season; fingers crossed for lots of novel terrains to explore Nevertheless, a surprise remake could be a sweet blast-from-the-past moment, especially for long-time fans craving a dash of nostalgia with their modern warfare.

Really digging DICE's dedication to turning Battlefield 2042 around; the promise of multiple new maps in Season 7 shows they're not just maintaining the game but actively seeking to enhance the player experience. With the nostalgia factor from previous titles, I wouldn't be surprised to see some classic maps reimagined among the new content to keep both old school and new fans engaged.
