Battlefield 2042‘s post-launch content material drops are ending with its seventh season after getting like three greater than anybody was anticipating when it launched riddled with bugs and damaged guarantees again in late 2021. Nevertheless, it is getting one final shock earlier than it bows out within the form of… a Useless House occasion.
The limited-time occasion will run from July 9 to 16, and the information is shocking for quite a lot of causes. First, the ill-fated (however superior) Useless House remake launched greater than a yr in the past to glowing opinions and seemingly lacklustre gross sales. Second, Battlefield 2042, despite its fairly first rate present state, is not related anymore, as the main target is now on the following entry within the navy FPS franchise. And third, Battlefield has by no means been massive on flashy crossovers, even with IPs below EA’s umbrella. All that stated, we’ll take it.
For essentially the most half, the limited-time sport mode appears to be recycling the zombie-like enemies that have been initially launched in Season 6 of BF2042, however with a twist, as the brand new onslaught of enemies that squads might be going through appears to land nearer to the basic, horde-like modes that made a number of co-op shooters well-known greater than a decade in the past. It is good to have one ultimate off-beat occasion for this sport, I suppose.
Anybody leaping in and placing within the work towards the not-zombies might be rewarded with a weapon appeal, a pores and skin, a tag, and a participant background. And naturally, if you would like to help the event of extra Battlefield (not 2042, sadly), you’ll be able to seize that horny Useless House-themed bundle for 2200 BFC, which is like $20 until I am mistaken or there are some offers going. Given all the additional work that DICE has put into this sport for approach longer than anybody anticipated, and the largely beneficiant free and premium battle passes, devoted gamers may be rightfully tempted to place down the cash, however we nonetheless imagine these pores and skin packs are overpriced.
Up subsequent for the Useless House franchise is… nothing, apparently. Some concepts have been kicked round, however Motive Studio was finally put to work on their upcoming Iron Man sport and extra Battlefield as an alternative. As for Battlefield, which appears to be increasing towards all expectations, it has been struggling its justifiable share of drama, but the following entry will not arrive till late 2025 on the earliest, giving it an extended than typical dev cycle that can hopefully assist it attain previous heights.
