With the official announcement that the first season of Battlefield 2042 has been postponed until early summer, players’ disappointment with the game has spread again, and many people have begun to complain to the official. EA CEO Andrew Wilson spoke on the earnings call about the current state of Battlefield 2042 and their plans for the game. He said that he believes that over time, he will see the game perform well.
Our development team has been working from home for the last two years to build this game, and it turned out to be a very challenging job. After testing and preparation, we are ready to ship to players. The game was very stable at launch, but As more players experience the full game, it’s clear that there are some performance issues we didn’t expect that need to be addressed.
It’s true that some of the designs we made in the game didn’t resonate with everyone in the Battlefield player community, but we’re fully committed to unlocking the full potential of this game and working hard to serve our Battlefield fans.
We’ve implemented a series of major updates to the game, with more to come, and players can look forward to some meaningful updates in the coming weeks. The reason we moved Season 1 to an early summer release is That we work closely with the player community to develop and improve the core experience of Battlefield 2042. At the same time, he also emphasized the importance of DICE returning to the original intention, participating in the player community, and improving the game.
Meanwhile, outgoing EA CFO Blake Jorgensen said that EA will not disclose sales numbers for Battlefield 2042 at this time. Obviously, our game sold less than expected, but we believe there’s still a market for this game, he said.
