Electronic Arts has unveiled an updated edition of its online shooter Battlefield 2042, named Elite Edition. This version bundles content from the first four seasons and adds a special set of cosmetic items. The details were shared with DTF Portal.
Elite Edition players will gain access to more than 17 multiplayer maps, 35 weapon variations, and 14 distinct specialists. The release includes the Lost World Pack, featuring the Forgotten Rao Specialist Pack, Hungry Vulture vehicle skins, and the Eradicator weapon. All of these items are designated as epic quality, offering players standout aesthetics and enhanced in-game appeal.
The Elite Edition is priced at $90 USD in North America and €90 in Europe, with regional variations in tax and store pricing. It is currently available for purchase on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC platforms.
Battlefield 2042 originally released in November 2021 and received mixed reviews from critics and players alike. Aggregated scores show a moderate reception with a Metacritic average around the high sixties, and user scores fluctuating lower on the scale. The perception at launch reflected a disconnect between ambitious design and some technical or balance concerns noted by the community and gaming press.
Earlier reporting from socialbites.ca referenced a rumor that a sizable 14 GB file connected to a Russian game project named Trouble circulated online, highlighting the ongoing interest and scrutiny surrounding major releases and their data handling. This context underscores why publishers continue to refine post-launch content strategies and edition releases like the Elite Edition as a way to engage players and extend a game’s lifecycle.
