Following its disappointing launch in 2021, Battlefield 2042 has been working hard to improve the game with consistent post-launch updates and reworks to its base maps. Now, with the imminent release of Season 5, titled New Dawn, the game is set to receive a wealth of exciting new content that is sure to refresh the player base. Despite the game's slow and steady progress, it has yet to recapture the player numbers it had upon launch. However, with the addition of a new snowy map named Reclaimed, three new weapons, several new gadgets, and a much-anticipated rework of the Hourglass launch map, Season 5 aims to satisfy both loyal players who have stuck with the game and newcomers to the franchise.
The upcoming release of Season 5: New Dawn for Battlefield 2042 has fans excited for what's to come, but it seems that developer DICE has even more in store. In a recent announcement on Twitter, Battlefield confirmed that a sixth season will be released following Season 5, with further details to come during the current season. The accompanying image features dark green rain clouds reminiscent of the game's launch cover art, which is intriguing given that previous seasons have incorporated different color schemes. It's possible that this is just an early reveal and that the official cover art and details for Season 6 will be unveiled later in Season 5.
There is a chance that Season 6 might be the final season for Battlefield 2042. Reports suggest that DICE is working on a new single-player campaign for Battlefield, while Ripple Effect is developing a different Battlefield experience. This development indicates that the franchise is moving forward, and it is possible that 2042 might not be a part of its future. This could cause dissatisfaction among players who have invested in 2042's live service. For now, players can look forward to the upcoming Season 5 and wait to see what Season 6 has in store for them. Battlefield 2042 is currently available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
