I agree that this is the likely scenario. But neither have they any official statement as of yet, telling us that here will be at least one new map per season nor did they state the total number of maps they will bring. The only statement we have is 'multiple locations' -- which in Dice speak means two.
I'd even say that even one map per season would be absolutely unacceptable. Or that less than 4 maps after 8 months with no new content whatsoever is unacceptable.
But from a pure business point of view, this is the only thing that makes sense. They have already completely destroyed the franchise and the name 'Battlefield' for quite some time. Along with the trust of their fan base. Now as EA is looking for a company willing to buy them it would be insane to invest more than the bare minimum as they now will ONLY look at their books.
Before the announcement that EA wants to be bought there was at least the fact that stopping development now and making the fans even more angry would kill of any hope of selling the next title in the only state they are able to release games these days. So they had some incentive to pump in some money into BF2042 to at least bring the game into an acceptable state. But as things stand now, they don't have this incentive anymore. To the contrary, they have every incentive to kill off BF2042 as fast as possible.
So, expect the worst (maybe the forecast with 2 maps was not even too pessimistic), but my guess is that they had 4 maps ready at launch to release in S1 and now with the stopped development have split them up over 4 seasons, so we will indeed be getting 4 new maps.
