What to Expect From Battlefield 2042s Halloween Event

Highlights

  • Battlefield 2042 had a rocky start but improved over time, offering free seasonal updates and new content to fans.
  • The game’s 7th season will be its last, but it will still receive balancing patches and updates with past seasonal events.
  • A new Halloween event is coming, offering exclusive rewards, new gear, and weekly missions to players in a four-week event.

As a seasoned gamer who has witnessed the rise and fall of countless gaming titans, I can confidently say that Battlefield 2042 is one of those games that keeps me guessing. The initial launch was rocky, to put it mildly, but the developers have proven time and again their commitment to listening to their community and making improvements.

Reflecting on the recent past, the impact of Battlefield 2042 remains ambiguous. Debuting in 2021, Battlefield 2042 faced a notoriously unfavorable response from both players and reviewers, with numerous complaints about its Specialist system, expansive maps, and technical troubles at launch. However, with time, Battlefield 2042 evolved into the game fans had hoped for, thanks to its seasonal strategy that regularly introduced fresh content without any extra charges.

It’s time to say goodbye to Battlefield 2042 as its run has concluded. In April, EA announced that Season 7 would be the last for this game and that the developers would be moving on to the next installment in the series. However, there will still be regular balance adjustments and updates for Battlefield 2042 over the coming months. Some of these updates will bring back past seasonal events, while others will introduce new content to the game. For example, a Halloween event is planned for Battlefield 2042 in 2024.

What’s Already Been Confirmed for Battlefield 2042’s Next Halloween Event

On their Battlefield 2042 site, Electronic Arts (EA) announced in a post titled “The Battlefield 2042 Journey Continues” that the game will feature a new Halloween event towards the end of this year. Details about this Halloween event are still scarce, but given the title, it appears fans can expect some fresh content. However, the specifics of what this content might be or how extensive it will be remain uncertain.

As a thrilled fan, I’m excited to share that in the same roadmap, EA has hinted at an amazing Halloween event for Battlefield 2042. This upcoming event promises exclusive new rewards, with key components being brand-new gear, weekly missions, and more. Delving deeper into the blog post, EA provides a sneak peek into the structure of Battlefield 2042’s next spooktacular event. The event will span four weeks, offering progression via an event pass featuring both free and premium tiers. This pass is packed with fresh cosmetics and other treats!

What Fans Could See From Battlefield 2042’s Next Halloween Event

At present, we only have these details confirmed about Battlefield 2042’s upcoming Halloween event. However, given the type of event the game had last Halloween, fans can make many educated guesses. The Dark Protocol event, which took place on October 31, 2023, was one of Battlefield 2042’s most popular events. With a theme centered around an AI escaping containment, the Dark Protocol introduced a special mode called Killswitch, played in teams of 12 versus 12. The objective was to seize an AI node, create an army of ominous synthetic soldiers known as Geists, and deploy them against the opposing team. This event also featured several exclusive cosmetic rewards, but its Killswitch mode was undoubtedly the most exciting aspect.

It’s plausible that the upcoming Halloween event for Battlefield 2042 could redesign Dark Protocol’s Killswitch mode, adding some changes to create a fresh feel. Fingers crossed that this year’s Halloween event manages to match or even surpass the impact of Battlefield 2042’s previous Dark Protocol event.
