Through EA’s official support pages, DICE announced that Battlefield 2042’s Hazard Zone mode, one of the three pillars of the shooter’s content, will not receive any further content, with developers have decided to focus their forces on player-favorite modes.
As explained by DICE, the mode will remain active and usable in the future, but it will not receive any other content, in practice, it will be left to itself. In addition, all the maps that will be introduced with the next updates will not support Hazard Zone.
“We are closing future development on Hazard Zone. All of us on the team had great ambitions and hopes for this new Battlefield experience during development, but we’re the first to raise our hands and acknowledge that it has found a place in Battlefield 2042 and that we will benefit greatly from focusing our efforts and energy on ways where we see more engagement,” DICE’s post reads.
“Hazard Zone will remain part of the experience, we will not deactivate it, but in addition to addressing critical errors and issues that may appear in the future, we are no longer developing new experiences or content for the mode and the maps we will publish during the seasons will not support Hazard Zone.”
On the other hand, DICE has had great plans to support Battlefield 2042 for a long time. A few days ago the full-bodied patch 4.1 arrived while in June Season 1 will begin.
