  Next Battlefield Might Bring Back the Single Player Campaign

  A job listing could hint at the return of the Battlefield campaign.
  
  A new job listing was recently spotted over the past weekend. According to said job listing, Battlefield Seattle Studio is looking for a design director that will "manage the design team and design vision of a new Battlefield campaign."
  
  This "Battlefield Seattle Studio" seems to be the studio being formed by Marcus Lehto. In December 2021, we learned that Lehto was forming a new st...

  Battlefield 2042 Update 1.1 Patch Notes

  The first update for Season 1 drops on July 6.
  
  DICE just detailed what is coming in the 1.1 update for Battlefield 2042. Rather, it's Update #1.1.0, just so we're super clear on this because those previous update versions were needlessly confusing.
  
  The 1.1.0 update will drop on July 6 and is the first update since the launch of Season 1 for Battlefield 2042. Some of the notable changes and fixes in this update include some new XP events for pilot kills, disarming mines,...

  DICE Has No Time for Non-Battlefield Content

  It's Battlefield or bust for developer DICE.
  
  If you wanted something else from developer DICE, like maybe a new Mirror's Edge, you're going to have a long wait. In the here and now, DICE has no plans to make anything not-Battlefield related. In fact, it seems as though the studio is only focused on Battlefield 2042 at the moment.
  
  DICE vice president Rebecka Coutaz sat down with GI.biz in a new interview. Coutaz says that any projects that are not related to Battlefield...

  Depending on Who You Ask: Everyone or Nobody at DICE is Currently Working on Battlefield 2042

  Schrödinger's development team.
  
  Depending on who you listen to and who you believe, either a "skeleton crew" is left working on Battlefield 2042 development, or the entire team at DICE is still working on the game.
  
  Back in April, the idea that there were only a handful of people left working on Battlefield 2042 started to circulate online. When asked how many people were still working on 2042, DICE game designer Frederik Drabert said that "almost everyone"...

It features a single new map, a single new Specialist, two new vehicles that are both helicopters, and a couple of new weapons.
  
  There is also a new Battle Pass. Rather, the first Battle Pass for the game is also coming. This pass will include a bunch of cosmetic items such as...

  Battlefield 2042 Update 1.0 Patch Notes

  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...

  To Nobody's Surprise Hazard Zone Support is Ending for Battlefield 2042

  This is the least shocking news ever.
  
  DICE announced that they are no longer going to support or release new content for the Hazard Zone mode in Battlefield 2042.
  
  Now, I know what you're thinking: "How could they end support for something that they never supported in the first place?" And you would be correct in asking that rhetorical question. What this essentially means is that DICE isn't going to convert any new maps into Hazard Zone variants. The mode will...

  DICE Says Battlefield 2042 Hovercraft Climbing is Removed in Update 4.0

  Truly, the end of an era.
  
  Prior to the release of Battlefield 2042, players discovered that the hovercraft was able to scale completely vertical surfaces. This led to situations that was sometimes amusing, sometimes frustrating, but always gravity defying.
  
  This, let's call it "exploit," went unchecked for months now. However, it seems as though the era of the gravity defying hovercraft is about to come to an end. A member of the DICE development team working...

  Battlefield 2042 Player Count Hits New Milestone

  This milestone comes just five months after release.
  
  Player numbers for Battlefield 2042, at least those playing on Steam, have hit an all-new milestone today! Sadly, not all milestones are good. According to both SteamCharts and SteamDB, the concurrent player count for Battlefield 2042 fell below 1,000 players for the first time.
  
  SteamCharts showed as few as 979 players were on at once while SteamDB shows a slightly less grim count of 983 players.
