Hardly anyone would have thought that was possible. Battlefield 2042 will also be packed with new content in the new year. Season 7 continues in March.
Extension for BF2042
We remember: Battlefield 2042 launched in November 2021 – with disastrous user ratings. After several officials at DICE were forced to give up, EA began a rescue mission for the shooter – which is still ongoing more than two years after its release and will continue in March 2024.
The current sixth season began in October 2023, with several technical issues at the time. BF2042’s free weekend turned out to be a smart move, allowing DICE and EA to reactivate an unimaginable number of players on Steam. This eventually surpassed the initial record of concurrent players, which was 105,397 since November 2021. Two months ago, 107,376 players gathered at the same time, New record so far. The sale brought new players to Steam, so that the number of players has always been at a decent level – and at least Short-term evaluations It is now set to “Mostly Positive”.
This is probably one of the reasons why EA extended DICE’s rescue mission – for a long time. For the month of March 2024 They announce the seventh season – Of course “with a lot of new content and new maps.” Season 6 will ultimately last for five months, and if Season 7 also lasts that long, the content will continue until the summer of 2024. It is generally expected that a new Battlefield game will debut in 2024.
