Season 1 was originally scheduled to launch in early 2022 but it was delayed to the summer so that DICE could focus on bringing the base game up to scratch following its troubled launch.
Ahead of Battlefield 2042’s delayed release last November, DICE said Battlefield 2042 Season 1 would include a new Specialist, Battle Pass and Portal content.
It also teased the introduction of “some new sights”, potentially referring to the Exposure map.
In Battlefield 2042’s first year of live service, DICE said it planned to launch four Seasons, each including a Battle Pass, Specialist, new locations and more.
Whether that’s still the plan given the delayed rollout of live service content remains to be seen.
