Gaming🎮 Battlefield 2042 is hosting a Dead Space crossover event which would've been useful to both games a year ago

Battlefield 2042's post-launch content drops are ending with its seventh season after getting like three more than anyone was expecting when it launched riddled with bugs and broken promises back in late 2021. However, it's getting one last surprise before it bows out in the shape of... a Dead Space event.

The limited-time event will run from July 9 to 16, and the news is surprising for a variety of reasons. First, the ill-fated (but awesome) Dead Space remake launched more than a year ago to glowing reviews and seemingly lacklustre sales. Second, Battlefield 2042, in spite of its pretty decent current state, isn't relevant anymore, as the focus is now on the next entry in the military FPS franchise. And third, Battlefield has never been big on flashy crossovers, even with IPs under EA's umbrella. All that said, we'll take it.

For the most part, the limited-time game mode seems to be recycling the zombie-like enemies that were originally introduced in Season 6 of BF2042, but with a twist, as the new onslaught of enemies that squads will be facing seems to land closer to the classic, horde-like modes that made several co-op shooters famous more than a decade ago. It's nice to have one final off-beat event for this game, I guess.
