Battlefield™ 2042 News

Hello there,


Tomorrow, Tuesday, July 23rd, we will be deploying a small update to Battlefield 2042. The primary focus of this update is to return Battlefield 2042 to its main theme within the game's menus as we transition away from Season 7 visuals.

Update #8.0.0 will consist of no downtime for this update, though you may need to restart your game to benefit from the changes.

Additionally, last week we shared a brief overview of what to expect as we continue transitioning away from Seasons and continue supporting Battlefield 2042 with regular game, balance, and Quality of Life updates, Portal highlights, Friday Night Battlefield experiences and more. You can find out our plans along with new ways for you to play via the Journey of Battlefield 2042 continues blog.

Hello there,

We recently gave you an update on what to expect for the future of Battlefield™ 2042, and our transition away from regular Seasons. Now that we're nearing the end of Season 7, we’re back with a brief overview on what's next.

Support for Battlefield 2042 will continue with regular game, balance, and Quality of Life updates, Portal highlights, and Friday Night Battlefield experiences. But today, we’re also here to tell you about new ways for you to play, through Vault Drops and events.

Events - New and Returning



Through our seven Seasons, we’ve seen you enjoy our events, such as the Arkangel Directive and fan-favorite mode Control. So we’ll be bringing them back as we rotate through past events, alongside returning rewards for those who missed them.

This will start with the return of Leviathan Rising, later in July.

We’re also going to be bringing new events to Battlefield 2042, over 4 weeks, with new ways to play, progression via an event pass*, with free and premium tiers, new cosmetics, and more. This first new event will be playable this coming Halloween period - stay tuned for more details.

Vault Drops

Vault Drops will be multi-week moments for you to unlock content in All-Out Warfare.

You’ve seen us bring Battlefield Portal weapons across for use in All-Out Warfare. But we’ve heard you also want us to start doing that with vehicles…

Vault Drops will start later in the year with a vehicle from Portal that we know you’ll be excited to get your hands on.

These events will allow you to both try, and unlock the new hardware. Depending on the piece of hardware, it will come with Mastery, Attachments and Universal skins, and with additional balance changes to ensure their gameplay matches the existing All-Out Warfare roster.

Community Calendar

Our Community Calendar will continue to receive updates showcasing all of the weekly playlists and featured experiences that you can expect to play throughout the months ahead.

We’ll be evolving it to include details on upcoming game updates, weekly missions, and new cosmetic bundles. And of course, we look forward to seeing you for more awesome Friday Night Battlefield sessions, where you can expect prime and chaotic Battlefield gameplay every week.

We hope that this gives you a better understanding of what's next for Battlefield 2042. Thank you for playing, and we'll see you on the Battlefield!
