@UP_LordPlumberInevitable, I guess. I hope the next BF game is not rushed and does well. I wish Battlebit and moreso that upcoming Delta Force game would put the pressure on EA, though the last game to do that - World War 3 - didn't turn out so well...
Maybe EA are decently spooked by the sales and the next game will set things straight. They do seem to be taking their time which is good, and with no covid or engine issues in sight...I wish some things from 2042 would stick around, specifically Portal and the + menu. I'm still bummed that BF4's visual recoil removal was immediately undone by Hardline and was never seen again...
I would have wagered all y'all's retirement accounts that we wouldn't see anything past season 4.
You guys got lucky I didn't.
- @UP_LordPlumber Deep down I had a feeling this would be the last season.

@RUMPLE9They already confirmed the next game for 2025 thoughNo they didn’t. It doesn’t reflect in the financials for 2025. They have a weird dating system, so I think they reset to 2026 in the fall of 2025, so maybe it could pop out late in 2025… but I seriously doubt it. It’s 2026 at the soonest. If they rush it again, it will be another nightmare as the roll out for 2042 was.

Like it has been said above, I come that they will finally eat crow and unlock the full progression in Portal like it was at launch. Nobody cares about what level of T1 mastery others have anymore.
I agree, it’s almost a relief. I like to complete things, so after S7 I’ll be free to move on. Helldivers is sounding so fun.
- @ATFGunr I couldn't find anything confirmed from dice either it was all vague and wishy washy.
Oct-Nov 2025 or into 2026
Either way not pre ordering this one. I know games eventually come to an end (the bad ones). But, what a stupid way to end the game. The last 3 seasons were just awful, no creativity at all it felt more like a testing ground. Man I was really looking forward to "2" new maps.
- @ATFGunr It wouldn't be rushed. The current game came out in Nov 2021, and if the next game comes out in the usual October/November 2025 that would mean they had 4 years of development which is more than any other Battlefield game in the history of the franchise. All previous games had 2-3 year gap, some even 1 year like BF3 coming 1 year and 7 months after BC2
- @UP_LordPlumber That’s assuming they had started on it, which from everything I read has only really started in the last 1.5 years. They are still moving resources into place. They haven’t even fully decided to have a campaign (I hope but it’s not a deal breaker) or only MM. How many times have they changed lead now? I’m coming to the conclusion that gaming success as an industry is going to be its own downfall. Too big, too focussed on maximizing profit, too corporate. I think it’ll continue on this course for a while, but the big blockbusters time in the sun is ultimately done. It’ll rise from its ashes but be a different business model. If it’s 3 years to a great game, and they’re maybe halfway into that now, early 26 is realistic eh?
2026 is way too long without any content to me but I could see it happening.
