In an exciting turn of events, Battlefield 2042 has announced a special collaboration with the legendary Mass Effect series through its newest game update. While Battlefield 2042 faced significant criticism during its initial 2021 launch, developer DICE has consistently worked to improve the game through multiple seasonal updates and bug fixes. The game's seventh and final season concluded last summer, with EA now focusing on the future of its flagship military shooter franchise.

This isn't the first major crossover for Battlefield 2042 - the game previously partnered with EA's terrifying sci-fi horror series Dead Space during Season 7. That collaboration introduced the Outbreak game mode, where teams of four players battled AI-controlled zombie hordes inspired by the Dead Space remake. Successful players earned exclusive rewards including Isaac Clarke's iconic spacesuit as a wearable skin.

Latest Game Information

The new Mass Effect crossover, which launched on June 17, brings beloved elements from BioWare's acclaimed RPG series to the battlefield. Players can now equip N7 armor resembling that worn by Mass Effect's protagonist Commander Shepard, along with weapon skins modeled after the futuristic firearms used to combat the Reaper threat. This crossover content is being released in two separate bundles, with a third bundle combining both sets.

This unexpected collaboration might hint at upcoming developments for the Mass Effect franchise, which has been relatively quiet recently. BioWare is currently working on a new Mass Effect game, while Amazon is developing a live-action TV adaptation with Fast and Furious 9 writer Daniel Casey and producer Avi Arad. Fans continue to speculate how the next game will address Mass Effect 3's controversial 2011 ending.
