Battlefield 2042

Well, it finally happened. EA & DICE have announced that there will be no new seasons or content for Battlefield 2042 after season 7 is over.

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.
