DICE has announced the release of the seventh season for Battlefield 2042, slated for March 2024. This update is expected to include a range of new content, with specifics on the nature of the additional maps yet to be clarified. These maps could either be fresh designs or reimagined versions of existing scenarios. The announcement, made via Twitter, also mentioned the inclusion of a special event titled "Holiday Protocol." This release follows a period of challenges for Battlefield 2042, marked by a lackluster launch and subsequent restructuring of the franchise. Under the direction of Vince Zampella of Respawn Entertainment, efforts have been made to revitalize the game's standing.
Despite initial setbacks, DICE has consistently worked on enhancing Battlefield 2042. The game has seen significant improvements and content additions over the past two years, leading to a notable increase in player engagement. In November, the game achieved a peak of 100,000 concurrent players on Steam and continues to maintain a daily average of over 26,000 players, post the free access period. The ongoing commitment to the game's development and the introduction of new content aims to shift player perceptions, especially among those who experienced the game only during its initial release phase.
