Battlefield 2042, courtesy of its performance issues and lack of content, has been a significant headache for EA and the series as a whole. The game was supposed to be the next big step in the series, and the hopes were around some of the major additions made to it.

Unfortunately, things haven't gone the way DICE envisioned it, which has led to the game being considered a failure, even in the internal scene. However, there will be another Battlefield game, at least according to EA CEO Andrew Wilson, but its potential release date isn't yet known.

Many fans believe that the damage done by the recent release might prove disastrous for the entire franchise. When one talks about Battlefield 2042, the list of things that have worked is significantly less than what hasn't. This has led to people deserting the game and going back to older titles in the series.

In 2021, rumors stated that the next game following Battlefield 2042 will be released sometime in 2023.

Hence, a terrific business opportunity for EA could be leveraged, but it might be counterproductive.

Battlefield 2042 was released roughly three years after Battlefield V, with the latter being improved since its rough release state. DICE hoped the problem with their 2018 release wouldn't be repeated, but if anything, the exact opposite happened. The rate of issues increased
