Electronic Arts has formalized the launch of the first season of Battlefield 2042, several months after a launch that will be considered chaotic at best. It is probably too late.
” Take to the skies with Battlefield 2042 Season 1 “, Can we read in the title of the press release sent to the press on June 7. We imagine that Electronic Arts had to take a lot to digest the chaotic launch of its ambitious multiplayer shooter. Some might think that this is a possible way out of the tunnel for Battlefield 2042accustomed to bad news in recent months.
Season 1, delayed due to the many concerns noted and assumed by Electronic Arts, is a real event for the FPS (first person shooter). It will welcome new content on June 9 to, perhaps, give new taste to players. Are mentioned: a map, a specialist Ewelina Lis, a gadget, vehicles and weapons.
