A new Reddit post this week has unearthed what looks like to be a pretty substantial leak for the game. In the API, it looks like something has been added and it is called the YEAR 2 UPGRADE. It looks like there are a bunch of placeholders surrounding this potential upgrade as well. The placeholder includes the price, start date, and a couple of other placeholders. It seems like EA is gearing up something big for Battlefield 2042.
Could this come with Season 5 later this year? It seems like a good chance.
It's worth noting that when it comes to leaks surrounding Battlefield 2042 Season 5, there might be a whole lot less. That's because one of the main sources of datamined info, Temporyal, will be taking an extensive break for the foreseeable future.
It's possible we still get leaks surrounding the game, but it's likely there will be less info revealed in the future.
