EA announced that Season 7 – Turning Point is the last for Battlefield 2042. After it ends, the developers will continue to support it, but their efforts are now put into the next game in the series.
"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."
To help everyone involved achieve the best results, Motive Studio, known for the remake of Dead Space and Star Wars: Squadrons, is building a team focused on Battlefield to join DICE, Criterion, and Ripple Effect "in building a Battlefield universe across connected multiplayer experiences and single-player."
"Battlefield 2042 has been an important chapter of the series we all know and love, and your feedback has been important in helping us build this game into something special while also assisting us in laying the foundation for the future. Battlefield is an experience that is defined by the passion of its community as much as its team-driven tactics and explosive battles, and I look forward to the day that we can tell you more about what’s coming next," said Byron Beede, the General Manager of Battlefield.
So what do we know about the next Battlefield? Reports say it will be going back to its roots with 64-player matches and a 4-class system while also overhauling the destruction systems. It takes place around 2025-2030 and focuses on modern military technology.
According to Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson, it looks "safe" and "predictable" for now. Other than that, Ripple Effect is allegedly working on a free-to-play battle royale title.
