One of the most requested features by the Battlefield 2042 community is finally coming to the shooter! In the latest Inside Battlefield podcast, DICE revealed that Battlefield 2042 all chat functionality is about done, and will be released in an upcoming game update.

For those not familiar with “All Chat” this is an in-game feature where players can talk to both their teammates and enemies. In addition to this, DICE has also mentioned that they are looking at adding thermal scopes to tanks (something previous Battlefield games featured), and taking a look at transport chopper balance changes, which is something that a lot of players have been asking for.

Aside from All-Out Warfare, the studio is also taking a look at implementing skins and attachments to Battlefield Portal weapons, and even adding the Breakthrough mode in BF Portal! Bear in mind, none of these have any timetable, so we don’t have a release date or window when all chat and these other stuff discussed will be in the game.

You can listen to the Inside Battlefield podcast here (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts). 

Speaking of the podcast, DICE Community Manager Tom Stratford has confirmed that this is the last episode of the first series, and the studio will take a break from hosting these weekly podcasts, though it will be back soon.

This is the last episode of the first series. We'll take a short break – but we'll be back soon!

We hope you've been enjoying listening to the team chat all things Battlefield.

Any further feedback – we'd love to hear from you! https://t.co/JtbrqAPUcK
