Battlefield 2042 developer to "lean into previous games" to revitalize it

techradar.com:

Battlefield 2042 developer DICE looks to be learning the lesson ‘If it’s not broken, don’t fix it’ a little late. Having made tons of changes to the series’ formula with last year’s shooter, the team has spent all of this year, not just fixing the game, but now making it more like the old games.

“In Battlefield 2042 Season 5 you’re going to see us lean into previous games and how they can show up in the world of 2042,” senior producer Ryan MacArthur said in a roadmap blog post(opens in new tab). 

Season 4 is set to drop in late December 2022, whilst Season 5 will usher in the new year in early 2023. According to DICE, it shall see “a mix of veteran developers alongside those working on their first game breathing in new life [into Battlefield 2042].”
