In a recent post on the Battlefield 2042 website, Electronic Arts announced that the title would stop receiving new content seasons. According to Battlefield franchise general manager Byron Beede, the recently released seventh season, Turning Point, will be the game’s last. However, the title will still receive new in-game challenges, events, modes, and ongoing maintenance. Battlefield 2042 launched on November 19, 2021 and is available now for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
A relevant snippet of the announcement message via the blogpost:
Battlefield Community –
When Battlefield 2042 launched, we promised to bring four seasons of content to the game, including new maps, additional specialists, weapons, vehicles, and more. As our seasons continued, the feedback we received made it clear your appetite for more Battlefield 2042 remained strong. We took the opportunity to evolve the game to make it even better for you and continue to learn valuable lessons for our own developmental processes.
Last month, we released the seventh season of Battlefield 2042 – Turning Point, which added an intense new urban map set in Chile as well as several weapons and a new gadget, with a revamped map based on the Stadium location from Hourglass, two themed events, and a new weapon and vehicle to come.
While we’ve enjoyed and are proud of creating these seasons of additional content for Battlefield 2042, it is now necessary for us to turn from the present to the future. What this ultimately means is that Season 7 will serve as the final season for Battlefield 2042. After Season 7 concludes, we will continue to support the game with new in-game challenges, events, modes, and of course, ongoing maintenance, but we are moving away from delivering official seasons.
We know this news may be disappointing. However, as we looked at what the future of the series required, it became clear it was time for us to shift our resources and focus to be fully dedicated to what comes next.
As I’ve mentioned in previous updates, we have an ambitious vision to embrace and unlock the vast potential of the series’ class-based squadplay and immersive, intense battles.
