Yes, 1.0. We're up to version 1.0 after the game has been out now for almost 200 days.

Battlefield 2042 is truly the gift that keeps on giving. I mean that in the most condescending way possible here. Since Battlefield 2042 officially launched on November 19, 2021 it has received zero content updates while the team at DICE worked to make the game less of a steaming mess of a pile. The first season for the game is, at last, finally upon us and with it comes a rather anemic amount of new content.

Though not officially confirmed yet, we were given a look at the new content coming soon (presumably later this week) when Season One for Battlefield 2042 launches. This information comes from trusted data miner temporyal and was put up on our site just one week ago. He says that Season One will bring to the table just one new map, one new Specialist, and two new vehicles. The number of new weapons was not previously known for certain, but since then new information surfaced that says there will be just two new weapons added.

Again, Battlefield 2042 Season One will add:

• 1 Specialist
• 1 New Map
• 2 Helicopters
• 2 Weapons

In terms of cosmetics and Battle Pass content, we have seen some new information on those as well. We know that the Battle Pass, be the free or Premium variety, will only offer cosmetics to players. Data mining, once again courtesy of temporyal, says that there will be over 20 cosmetic bundles added to the in-game store.

He cited one such example bundle that he discovered:

I truly wish I were making this up, but you can read temporyal's tweet about it if you don't believe me. This is what the Battlefield franchise has become.

Maybe it's not all a loss though. Maybe Update 1.0, set to arrive on June 7, 2022, will be the game's saving grace. We already know that this title update will drop "in preparation" of Season One, and with it will come a lot of change and improvements to the game, so DICE claims.

If you are confused about the fact that they're calling this the "1.0" update, there's probably a pretty good reason for that confusion. Prior to this "1.0" update, DICE has apparently been titling all previous updates incorrectly. When they released the first Battlefield 2042 update on November 17, 2021 that was actually "Update 0.2.1." The game's second major update, also released in November 2021, was then "Update 0.2.2." Then we had Update 0.3.0, 0.3.1, 0.3.2, and so on up until the most recent update, out on May 18, 2022, which at face value was called "Update 4.1." In reality, that was "Update 0.4.1." I admit that I was also partially to blame for this confusion when reporting on the previous updates. I should have noticed the zero preceding each update version in the actual changelogs, but I did not.

Still, that's maybe not the best sign there that even DICE hasn't viewed Battlefield 2042 as being version 1.0 until almost 200 days after the game's release.

DICE is also saying that another patch is coming in July, but it will be smaller compared to this Update 1.0 release. Who knows what that update version will be called at this point.

Enough with the ranting and such, you are probably just here for the true Battlefield 2042 1.0 changelog. Here it is:

The official launch for Battlefield 2042 Season One, named Zero Hour, looks like it might happen later this week? The Update 1.0 is happening tomorrow at the very least. There will be a gameplay reveal for Season One tomorrow (June 7) at 11AM (ET). You can watch it on YouTube or through the embed below.
