Battlefield 2042's first update since season 2 launched late last month has been revealed, featuring a major rework to one of the game's base maps, Renewal. Elsewhere, the patch is filled with bug fixes, mostly, but developer DICE has teased something intriguing for next month.
Sometime around "mid October", a brand new event is coming to Battlefield 2042 that sounds like it'll mix things up quite a bit from the base game. DICE says to "expect new earnable cosmetics alongside infantry only gameplay with tight playspaces and intense close-quarters combat."
Battlefield is known for its sprawling, open maps and varied combat approaches — as the name suggests — so this event should provide a nice change of pace. Battlefield has dabbled in a tighter combat design before, especially with its fittingly named "Close Quarters" DLC pack for Battlefield 3.
As for 2042, it's been a rough ride so far but the reception seems to have picked up around season 2's launch. Fans will be hoping DICE can continue to deliver content throughout the game's 2nd year of support.

The beta of MW2 wipes the floor clean of the so-called full game that is Battlefield 2042. By the time MW2 comes out, there'll be no one playing BF2042 any longer (not like there are many to begin with 😂)
When is this hitting gamepass?
Deathstroke is a fitting character addition
Announce DLC for your last great game, BF1 (WW1)
I'm not touching Battlefield 2042 until they go back to a proper class system without hero abilities.
Something even their slated class rework doesn't include.
So, this game is likely going to be deader than how dead it already is, IF that ever happens.
Is it hitting EA Play and Game Pass?
Special event? Does that mean they’re going to be making this an actual good game?
the Renewal is absolutely sweet on X|S ! Congrats for that!
hope its get a awesome updates in mid october... keep up them coming....
@BRT15 The MWII beta (and so on the game itself) is a bunny hop simulator (again). BF 2042 after Season 1 update is really fun. And even more fun with yesterday's update. The player base has been drastically improved the last 3 months!
