The fifth and final season is nearly here.

Battlefield 2042 has had a hell of a run. From being a disappointing mess at launch to becoming a game that I can safely recommend in its current state. Today, DICE showed off a new trailer for Season 5: New Dawn, the fifth and final season of content for the FPS.

Season 5: New Dawn will launch on June 7. This season will include a brand new map, new weapons, new gadgets, and various quality of life improvements. Some of those...

Just a teaser for a bigger reveal.

DICE released a little teaser today for Season 5 of Battlefield 2042. This teaser was dropped ahead of a planned larger reveal scheduled for May 26. First off, we learned that Season 5 is being called New Dawn.

The teaser is just that, a teaser of the upcoming gameplay reveal on the 26th at 8AM (PT). It also seems to hold a little more than meets the eye at first glance. For instance, is that morse code I hear? Secondly, what does 1 11...

Less explosives, category adjustments, and more.

DICE just detailed the changes that are coming to vehicle loadouts for Battlefield 2042 in Season 5. While the general changes may not seem like a whole lot at a glance, they are rather big in the grand scheme of things. For instance, DICE is pulling explosives from several vehicles to have them be less of a "jack of all trades" sort of thing and to better fit the roles they were designed for. There is also a small shuffle to move the...

Changes are coming to the Ballistic Shield and Shootdown Sentinel.

DICE just put up some information about changes that are coming to the Specialists of Irish and Dozer in Season 5 of Battlefield 2042. These changes seem largely focused on their unique abilities: Dozer's SOB-8 Ballistic Shield and Irish's APS-36 Shootdown Sentinel. DICE says that these two Specialists "need some improvements to ensure they provide similar gameplay experience as others within their class." They note t...

More updates are already promised.

A new update for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was released on May first specifically for the PC version of the game. This update supposedly tackles some of the title's massive performance and technical issues that were so bad EA had to issue a public statement on the day of the game's release.

Today's update is specific to the PC release of the game. The update says that it offers "performance improvements for non-raytraced rendering."...

A player card and title in honor of Thick44.

Those of us who have been with the Battlefield franchise for a while are probably well aware of who or what Battlefield Friends is. For those unacquainted with their hijinks, Battlefield Friends is an animated web series of three friends (Engineer, Medic, and Recon) and a Noob, who go on a series of adventures through the Battlefield franchise. Each episode mostly focused on various references or in-jokes to the multiplayer component for...

The map rework is just one of many changes coming in this update.

DICE just shared the big changelog for the upcoming Update 4.2.0 for Battlefield 2042. Of note in this update is the inclusion of the latest map to be reworked: Discarded. Of course, there is plenty more included in this update. For instance, you're going to be able to remove attachments from weapons in the Collections Screen.

A few other notable improvements coming with this update include: A showcase of...

This legacy feature will be turned off by default.

DICE is about to release Update 4.1.1 for Battlefield 2042. This update, out on April 12 at 8AM (UTC), will focus on some quality of life improvements. One of those "quality of life" features will be the return of All Chat.

Ah yes, now you can once again know how all 64-players on the opposing team did your mom last night as they teabag you relentlessly. Thankfully for everyone, this All Chat function will be...

This new in-game event begins April 11.

Leviathan Rising is a new in-game event coming on April 11 for everyone playing Battlefield 2042. This new in-game event runs for two weeks from April 11 to April 25 at 5AM (PT).

This event includes a new two-round, 8v8 Shutdown Mode. This is a mode where attackers and defenders swap sides at the end of each 10-15 minute long match. This mode is focused on infantry battles and will take place on the maps of Flashpoint, Exposure,...

The layoffs come as part of a company "restructuring."

Electronic Arts announced today that they are laying off about 6% of their total workforce as part of a new restructuring plan. This same plan also includes "optimizing its real estate portfolio and re-focusing its efforts around growth opportunities." This unfortunate news comes to us courtesy of GamesIndustry.biz.

As of their last annual report, EA employed 12,900 people globally. This information...

This update arrives the final week of March.
Next week, DICE is preparing to roll out the 4.1.0 update for Battlefield 2042. This is the first major update for Season 4: Eleventh Hour, though it's not the first update of the season. This one is a doozy. It contains new vault weapons, an overhaul to how armor plates work, improvements to text chat, and much more.

Before diving into the decently long changelog for update 4.1.0, DICE also shared a bit of information on the upcoming...

A new limited-time mode finds you avoiding the heat, plus get Ash's heirloom.

The Battlefield games I can understand, but Mirror's Edge?

Electronic Arts and DICE just announced that they plan on "sunsetting" a handful of older titles. By "sunsetting" they mean that they will be taking the servers for these games offline and they will also remove the games from digital storefronts. After April 27, 2023, you will no longer be able to purchase these games.

Those games being pulled starting April 28 include Battlefield 1943, Battlefield:...

This third studio will be opening in Madison, Wisconsin.

It seems both Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment plan to keep Apex Legends going for a very, very long time.

A third Respawn studio is soon to open in Madison, Wisconsin. This third studio will initially focus solely on Apex Legends for the foreseeable future. This studio will be led by industry veteran Ryan Burnett. Burnett has been in game development for about two decades now. He previously worked at Raven...

Finally, a story trailer that doesn't just spill the entire can of beans.

EA and Respawn Entertainment just released a new story focused trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Unlike many other story trailers for games, this one doesn't exactly reveal much of the plot. At least, I don't think it did. It was kept vague enough while showing a bunch of quick scenes.

Still, if you don't want any spoilers at all, it's best to avoid this trailer.

Star Wars Jedi:...
