Battlefield 2042's Season 1 Launches This Week
Battlefield 2042's Season One: Zero Hour finally launches this week with one new map, one new Specialist, and a Battle Pass.
Announced in a two-minute trailer on the game's YouTube channel, EA Dice revealed that Season 1 will be available on June 9, with a preparatory update arriving today, June 7.
Like most Battle Passes, Battlefield's will include a free and premium tier that costs around $10, though users who own the Year 1 Season Pass will gain access to this automatically.
While EA was hazy on the details. The new Specialist, Ewelina Lis, and map, Exposure, will seemingly be available for free for all players, regardless of Season or Battle Pass ownership.
Lis is an anti-vehicle Specialist who comes equipped with a special remote-controlled rocket launcher. Her other passive ability lets her see damaged vehicles highlighted in red, meaning players can instantly detect which tanks and helicopters are ready to be taken down.
Exposure is located within the Canadian Rockies and different ridges, platforms, and bases throughout the mountains allow for multiple entry points into the battlefield as players glide between each one.
Finally, the Battle Pass arriving in Season 1 comes with 100 tiers, with the premium version only offering aesthetic unlocks. The regular, free Battle Pass comes with the new vehicles, weapons, and, of course, the new Specialist Lis.
The update being released today in anticipation of Season 1 comes with hundreds of further fixes to Battlefield 2042. Most notably, this includes improvements to soldier animations and movements for smoother gameplay, updated hitboxes, new ways to earn XP, and an increased number of vehicles in Conquest Mode.
