Even as Battlefield 2042 continues to receive regular injections of new content, many gamers are already beginning to wonder what EA and DICE have in store for the series’ next release. With the near-future shooter never quite reaching the heights of earlier entries, and work on the next Battlefield title reportedly well underway, the time may have come for the franchise to reinvent itself once again. One way to do this would be for DICE to buck the trend of tying multiplayer content to seasonal releases and return to the Battlefield map pack model that helped make games like Battlefield 3 fan favorites.
