Even though Battlefield 2042 is having a difficult first year, the DICE developers are trying to stay the course, as evidenced by the presentation of Season 1. Called “Hour Hour”, it offers to settle accounts on a brand new map with a vertical environment: Exposure. “Tense ground-to-air and infantry battles await you in caves and on mountain ridgesis it explained in the press release from Electronic Arts. Exposition will be available in All-Out Warfare and Portal at the launch of Season 1.“
That’s not all, since Season 1 will also mark the appearance by Ewelina Lis, an expert in vehicle demolition. “EIt tracks armored vehicles on the ground and aerial deviceswe are told. Its rocket launcher, which fires remotely controlled missiles for greater accuracy, and the valuable information it receives from its Armor Tracker attribute make it a formidable enemy against vehicles on the ground or in the air.“
Of course, the developers have thought of expanding the arsenal available to players. “Pilot the new RAH-68 Huron and YG-99 Hannibal gunshipsequipped with advanced radar and defense evasion systemsassures the publisher. Choose from regular, light, heavy, and explosive projectiles with the Ghostmaker R10 crossbow to adapt to different situations. Eliminate enemies from a distance in All-Out Warfare with the DMR BSV-M, ideal for mid-range combat. Finally, use the new smoke grenade launcher in offensive and defensive situations to develop new tactics and provide extra protection for your squad.“
Season 1 will also be accompanied by corrective updates focused on stability, game balance, shooting, vehicle control or even performance. “Battlefield Portal players will see the return of some iconic vehicles and experiencesit is underlined. Creators can count on a new preset game mode and expanded rules editor functionality.“Please note that all of the new features of Season 1 that we have just discussed will be deployed for free via the new Battle Pass. “Additional cosmetics such as legendary skins and melee kills can be unlocked through the Premium version of the Battle Pass“, specifies Electronic Arts.
Finally, Season 1 will land on June 9 (in two days) on all media.
