With Battlefield 2042, it looks as though DICE will be going all-out on post-launch content for the multiplayer shooter. We know that the developer has confirmed no less than four battle passes and four seasons in its first year, but precisely what it has planned for each season has been kept under wraps. According to one person claiming to have knowledge of the situation, it looks like this game's seasonal content will be the most extensive yet seen in the series.
Tom Henderson has taken to Twitter recently to state what he's heard about Battlefield 2042's seasonal plans, and it looks like a lot is in store:
Henderson has leaked details of other FPS titles in the past, and while he does get things right, that's not always the case. In fact, he admits that in the above tweet, his sources have reached out to him to say only one map will come to Portal each season, not two.
Still, if what he's asserting is correct, players will receive a Specialist, three maps, updates to Hazard Zone, up to eight new weapons, two or three vehicles, and 100 season tiers each season. That's a lot of stuff, and it'll allegedly all be made available for free.
Of course, rumours like this should be treated lightly. There's almost nothing backing up Henderson's claims other than his own reputation, which is somewhat inconsistent at times. We're sure to get official details on DICE's post-launch plans in the near future — there's still lots of time for EA to spill the beans with a content roadmap. What do you think? Will DICE be producing all the above mentioned goodies for Battlefield 2042, or is it too ambitious to be true? Discuss in the comments section below.

We will see. I am really curious about weapons customization.
Since BF4, there was only COD Warzone that did this (kinda) right (or that I liked).
If that happens then awesome. I don't know what they've done to improve their production since a couple years ago, this kind of thing is not their strong suit but I'd guess everyone there is working on just this and not a new Battlefront, and other EA studios are focusing on it. We'll see.
Let's re-imagine some Battlefield Bad Company 2 maps, DICE.
Four seasons in a year! Impressive!
Can't wait for some battlefield been soooo long
@AndyKazama Valparaiso from BC2 is already in confirmed! (it's in the trailer)
Buy the game $$$. Spend on micro transactions $$$$$$$. Stuff all to no solo campaign. Sounds great, not
Less content with more extra costs. No excuses this time for a broken mess of a launch. Im still gonna skip it though.
Really looking forward to this game, more so since the reveal of the portal mode. The possibilities of that mode are seemingly endless and will really give battlefield that sandbox feel.
@JB_Whiting not what I'd pick but cool 👀 Atacama desert is my favourite
It should all be free, we're paying £70 for an online multiplayer only game!
I'm definitely buying it, it looks ace fun and will have lots in it but it should all be free this time imo.
I have Battlefield 2041 on pre-order on the PlayStation store, my first day 1 Battlefield since Battlefield 1............ I expect issues with the game on launch but I am looking forward to getting back in to a Battlefield game 👍👍👍👍 I am hoping the mechanics are similar too BF3/BF4, Reintroduce battlepacks that give you a random attachment for a gun you may or may not have............ That gives you a reason to keep playing......... But with BF1 and BFV, they removed battlepacks for weapon, vehicle skins?????
@Dan_ozzzy189 I think all the maps will be free, the season pass covers unlocking levels which unlocks the cosmetic stuff. If I understand things correctly
@MB81 there's a lot relating to the context of the battlepass that we're yet to fully understand imo
