EA Dice would like to remind youonce againthat they are “all-in” on Battlefield, and their latest evidence is laying out their plans for updatingBattlefield 2042in 2023. Those plans include reintroducing classes, the first details on season four and its new specialist, and the confirmation that there will be a season five.

First up, update 3.1 later in December will bring a revised version of Manifest, one of 2042’s maps, with “HQ flags closer to the action, a tighter playspace, improved visibility, cover and sightlines, and pathing between flags improved to allow for more focused attack and defense of them.”
When season four launches, also early in 2023, it will add a new battle pass, new hardware, a new map, and a new specialist who will sit within the Recon class.
Finally, they say they’re in pre-production on season five which will follow later in 2023. This season will have no new specialist, but will have the other items present in other seasons: a new battle pass, new hardware, and a new map.
Battlefield 2042 launched without several features people expect from the series, including voice comms and leaderboards, and had many bugs. EA Dice have done an admirable job since then in smoothing over issues and adding requested features.
