Rumor: Battlefield 2042 to Get One Big Final Update Ahead of Battlefield 6

by

As Battlefield 6 is set to launch soon, it appears that Electronic Arts (EA) and developer DICE are preparing one final update for Battlefield 2042. Launched in 2021, the game failed to consistently satisfy its player base despite its intriguing near-future setting. However, DICE dedicated substantial effort towards post-launch seasons, updates, and enhancements in the years following, gradually regaining positive sentiment from players. Nevertheless, EA has expressed a desire to shift focus entirely from Battlefield 2042, given that its successor, Battlefield 6, is slated for release within approximately two months.

After the problems encountered with Battlefield 2042, many FPS enthusiasts initially had reservations about Battlefield 6. However, during its recent open beta phase, interest in the game has been high due to its contemporary setting and action-packed, destructive gameplay, positioning it well to challenge Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 this fall. Furthermore, the upcoming battle royale mode in Battlefield 6 appears to be everything fans have long requested since the Firestorm mode in Battlefield 5 fell short in 2019.

Battlefield 2042 Might Get One Last Update

As Battlefield 2042 gears up for the October release of Battlefield 6, there’s a strong indication that the game will receive one more significant update before wrapping up. Notable Battlefield data miner Temporyal hinted on Twitter that this upcoming update might be arriving for players relatively soon. According to Temporyal’s findings, the update will introduce a new map in Iwo Jima and three new weapons: “The Prototype,” KFS2000, and the GM6 Lynx. Furthermore, the update is expected to include two air vehicles from the Battlefield vault – the A-10 Warthog from Battlefield 4 and the SU-25TM Frogfoot from Battlefield 3.

The upcoming changes in Battlefield 2042 aren’t just reminiscing about past games by incorporating vehicles from previous titles, but they are also hinting at what’s to come in Battlefield 6. As Temporyal mentioned, this update will introduce Pax Armata cosmetics to Battlefield 2042. For those keeping track of Battlefield 6’s trailer releases, you might recognize Pax Armata as a new faction in the single-player story campaign of Battlefield 6, engaged in a conflict with NATO. It appears that EA and DICE are subtly weaving this Pax Armata narrative into the last update for Battlefield 2042 to encourage players to transition into the all-new Battlefield 6. However, details about these Pax Armata cosmetics or their specific appearance remain a mystery, as does the exact release date of the update. If true, it’s expected that the update will be released before Battlefield 6 launches on October 10.

As a die-hard Battlefield fan, I’m excited to jump back into the action for one last hurrah during the second and final open beta weekend of Battlefield 6! With only a short time left before its official launch, this is our chance to experience the thrill once more.

Fortunately, we Battlefield enthusiasts have another treat to keep us entertained until October 10 – the exciting update for Battlefield 2042. So, let’s make the most of these remaining days and gear up for a fantastic gaming adventure!
