Electronic Arts has denied that Battlefield 2042's development team is composed of a "skeleton crew" that is working to "meet the barebones of their obligations" for the military shooter.

A spokesperson told Jeff Grubb of GameSpot sister site Giant Bomb that, "This is untrue." The statement went on to say: "There is a significant team across studios focused on evolving and improving the Battlefield 2042 experience for our players, and at that heart of that is our team at DICE."

"We are committed to the future of Battlefield 2042 and our areas of focus for the game," DICE said.
