Battlefield 2042 faces a fight for survival as players and content creators go AWOL
Battlefield 2042 may be taking the series into an unprecedently dark period, as many fear the game will be forgotten by the time DICE is done fixing it.
Last week was particularly stressful for Battlefield fans and developer DICE. The studio announced delaying the game’s first season by several months. What many believed would arrive in March is now landing sometime around June. The developer will instead use this break to address longstanding issues, and potentially change some of the most controversial design decisions made during the development of Battlefield 2042.
Meanwhile, publisher EA all but pretended the game doesn’t exist at all in its financial reports and releases for Q3. When asked about Battlefield 2042’s performance and its view of launch, EA said it was a disappointment, admitting that it has run into several problems. EA, however, was adamant DICE will get things back on the right track because the developer has fixed similar messes in the past.
