Although Call of Duty has accustomed us to the annual release cadence, this is not the reality for all the great games in the genre. Battlefield 2042 was released three years ago and fans are clamoring for more. Especially after the disastrous launch and a series of updates that, far from fixing it, only deepened many of its problems. This has led players to expect a new installment, less focused on the game as a service.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like a new Battlefield will happen anytime soon. EA has recently confirmed that their intention is to have new releases of iconic franchises like Mass Effect, Star Wars, and also Battlefield, starting from 2025. So we will still have to wait for this to happen.
What’s worse, Battlefield 2042 seems to have had a lackluster 2023 by any possible metric. In recent months, it has had record-breaking revenue, earning over one billion nine hundred million dollars in profits during the second quarter of 2023, among all of EA’s service games. An improvement over the predicted one billion eight hundred million, partly thanks to Battlefield’s good performance.
That’s why Battlefield won’t see a new installment anytime soon. In fact, its seventh season will arrive next March. So, Battlefield fans, we’re afraid you’ll have to learn to love Battlefield 2042, or have even more patience with EA.
