It’s been quite a roller coaster for Battlefield 2042, which launched in an embarrassing state back in 2021, but managed to scratch and claw its way back to a solid place one update at a time. Well, it seems the Battlefield 2042 story is finally coming to an end, as EA and DICE have announced major support for the game will cease at the end the currently-in-progress Season 7. Maintenance updates and reruns of past events will still happen, but no more major seasonal content is coming. “While we’ve enjoyed and are proud of creating these seasons of additional content […]

DICE, Criterion, and Ripple Effect Studios are working hard to make the next Battlefield game the success that 2042 wasn't.

It's been over two years since the release of the latest Battlefield installment, and fans are eager to learn more about what's coming next. While the series has been almost synonymous with destruction since Battlefield: Bad Company, that hasn't always been the case. Battlefield 2042, for instance, focused much more on map-specific extreme weather events like sandstorms and tornadoes. Internet sleuths have now discovered new information from the job listing for VFX Director at Ripple Effect. As you might remember, DICE LA rebranded to Ripple Effect back in July 2021, and it is one of the main developers of the […]
