[QUOTE="Admin, post: 55879, member: 1"] EA DICE has announced it is no longer developing content for Battlefield 2042's Hazard Zone mode just six months after the game launched. Hazard Zone will still be playable on Battlefield 2042's current levels but won't be available on any future DLC maps, and DICE is "no longer actively developing new experiences or content for the mode". It announced the news in [URL='https://answers.ea.com/t5/Updates/Battlefield-Briefing-Development-Update-May-2022/m-p/11510768?cid=73726&ts=1653405921012&utm_campaign=bf2042_hd_ww_ic_socd_twt_kingstondevelopmentupdatemay2022&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter#M54']its latest development update[/URL] just five days after [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/battlefield-2042-multiplayer-128-breakthrough']its 128-player Breakthrough mode was also removed from the game[/URL]. "We're winding down future development on Hazard Zone," the post read. "All of us on the team had great ambition and higher hopes for this new Battlefield experience throughout our development, but we're the first to hold our hands up and acknowledge that it hasn't found the right home in Battlefield 2042. "We'll greatly benefit from letting our focus and energy stay on the modes we see you engaging most with." Hazard Zone was a four-player mode introduced in Battlefield 2042 that had players locate and collect a series of items throughout the map while fighting off other squads.
