Season 7 is officially the last season for BF2042

When 2042 came out EA were telling us that they were going all in with Battlefield, there would be a mobile game, a single player campaign, an expansion of the BF "universe", etc, etc, etc  None of this happened.  Mobile was cancelled, the team behind the single player has been closed (although I think another team has taken over?) and nothing else has been add to the universe of Battlefield. A lot of hot air from EA execs, and I will always be of the opinion that it was EA that screwed up BF2042 resulting in many long standing DICE devs quitting.  Publishers need to stay the hell away from what the game makers are doing, and just trust them.  Look at Suicide Squad, I cannot believe this is the game Rocksteady wanted to make.

Work will already be well under way on the next title, so I expect to see the next game in Oct/Nov 2025 and I expect it will have a single player campaign; like the previous titles did.  But that is one long wait and over the next 18 months I imagine 2042 will die out. 

On the other hand, we'll probably get a trailer for BF "next" this time next year.  And laughably they will probably invite us to pre-order, bwaaahaaahaaahaaaa

NATO vs a private mercenary army, that's fine, it means they can widen the scope of weapons and vehicles and make up some decent kit for the mercs.  But I do feel like this is also a case of DICE distancing themselves from their previous games; they don't want to set to real nations against each other in a game.  Even though, y'know, it's just a game.  Clearly (and there's no other way to put it) there is some "snowflake" influence going on.
