Recently, the well-known uncle party Tom Henderson broke the news that although DICE is still fixing the problems of "Battlefield 2042" and developing the DLC of this game, they will use the experience gained on the next "Battlefield", and DICE is currently fully developing the new "Battlefield" work.
In his report, Tom Henderson said that the new Battlefield game is still in the pre-production stage, but an insider told him that they have learned a lot of valuable lessons after the release of Battlefield 2042 and will revise many of the changes they made on Battlefield 2042 in the new game. Although it's a bit too early to talk about the details of the new game, Tom Henderson thinks "change" may refer to the much-criticized 128-man model and expert system in Battlefield 2042.

At the same time, Tom Henderson also revealed some behind-the-scenes information about the new "Battlefield 2042" and "Battlefield" works:
DICE originally planned to make Battlefield 2042 the foundation for the future development of the series, and the next generation of Battlefield will also be produced on its basis.
A former DICE developer said that the next Battlefield is positioned as a "hero shooter", but player feedback has focused on the class system of Battlefield 2042, and this plan seems to have changed.
The expert system in the new Battlefield game will more closely link the expert positioning and the class, which is the change that players want to see before the release of Battlefield 2042.
The new game will still be set in a modern or near-future setting.
DICE plans to introduce four experts and four battle passes for Battlefield 2042, and a map called Exposure is known to be available this summer.

While many people at DICE have been transferred to work on the next Battlefield, there will still be a dedicated team responsible for the subsequent content updates to Battlefield 2042, and Ripple Effect is also working to bring new content to the Battlefield Portal mode.
