DICE has shared more on its future plans for Battlefield 2042, including the news it’s coming to EA Play and Game Pass Ultimate when Season 3 launches in a “few weeks” time.
The studio made the announcement in its latest developer update, which highlights some of the new additions coming to Battlefield 2042 as part of Season 3 and beyond.
Season 3, which is yet to receive an official start date, includes a new multiplayer map, a new Specialist, new weapons – including Bad Company 2’s XM8 and Battlefield 3’s A-91 – plus a new Battle Pass. It’ll also usher in map reworks for Manifest and Breakaway.
Manifest’s revamp arrives first, in 2042’s 3.1 update. Players can expect to see enhanced cover, improved visibility – with better lit areas and clearer sightlines – as well as the removal of redundant playspace, and HQ flags that are closer to the action. DICE says the flags themselves have received careful attention, ensuring players can “better focus [their] attack and defense when playing the objective.”
