Dead Space Directors Join Battlefield at Motive Studios
Apr 09, 2024 8:55 PMElectronic Arts has announced an end to new content for 'Battlefield 2042' after its Season 7 update, shifting focus to the development of future titles in the series. Motive Studio, known for the 'Dead Space' remake and 'Star Wars: Squadrons,' will collaborate with DICE, Criterion, and Ripple Effect to enhance the Battlefield universe. Despite a range of initial setbacks and player pushback, Battlefield 2042 has seen a significant update and seven seasons released, with plans for ongoing maintenance and in-game events post-Season 7. Additionally, Motive Studio also continues to prioritize their 'Iron Man' project, hitting key milestones this year.
Will Battlefield 2042 still receive support and updates after Season 7?
Yes, Battlefield 2042 will continue to receive support with new in-game challenges, events, modes, and ongoing maintenance, despite no further official seasons being released.
Released in November 2021, 'Battlefield 2042' faced several launch issues leading to delayed seasonal starts and a substantial loss of its player base, especially on PC. Controversial decisions, like the removal of the Rush mode, sparked significant criticism, which was shortly reverted in response to player backlash. A notable community push for refunds followed the dissatisfaction over the game's condition. However, the game's fortunes improved slightly after the comprehensive update 4.00 brought numerous changes and saw an uptick in player numbers.

It's great to hear that despite the end of new content after Season 7, Battlefield 2042 will still receive ongoing support with in-game events and maintenance. I'm curious to see how Motive Studio's collaboration with DICE, Criterion, and Ripple Effect will shape the game's future and if it can regain its footing after the initial setbacks.
