The youtube channel Electronic Arts has shared its first tease about the next version of the popular franchise Battlefield. The online multiplayer shooter series is currently in a slump, with sales of Battlefield 2042 not meeting the expectations of either their publisher or their community.
There is still a dedicated fandom around Battlefield who wants the next game to be a success, however. This tip from Electronic Arts should be the start of the company's construction for the launch of the next game Battlefield.
Battlefield 2042 was released at the end of 2021, which means it's approaching two years since the last release of the franchise. Battlefield is not an annual series like Call of Dutyso this is not unusual. New games in the series are usually released every two or three years.
Next Battlefield was officially confirmed by the CEO of EA, Andrew Wilson, in May this year, but no specific details have yet been mentioned. Wilson said at the time that EA has "extraordinary confidence" how the development of the new Battlefield is making progress.
The latest update on the development of the next Battlefield was shared during a conference call of the company's results. EA for the first quarter of 2024. This is the first time that EA shares details about the nature of the next BattlefieldAlthough it's little more than a provocation.
The youtube channel EA says that the next Battlefield will be a "reimagining" of the franchise and will feature a connected ecosystem. What that means is a complete mystery.
The next entry in the Battlefield franchise will be a reimagined
Although details about the reimagining of Battlefield are not available, there have been some leaks about the development of the project that may or may not be accurate.
At the beginning of 2022, a leaker stated that the developer DICE was deciding between a modern or near future scenario for Battlefield. A comparison can be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare as opposed to Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare of Battlefield 2042. Whatever your scenario, it will be different from Battlefields as it is being built from scratch on a new engine.
There are rumors that could explain the "connected ecosystem" for the next Battlefield too. Three studios are working on the next Battlefield. A EA DICE is focusing on the game's main multiplayer modes, it is believed that the Ripple Effect is working on a different multiplayer experience that could be a battle royale or extraction experience, and the Ridgeline Games is working on a narrative experience.
The connected ecosystem could unite these three different gaming products, not unlike how Call of Duty unites annual multiplayer releases and its Warzone battle royale.
As few details are currently available about the next game of BattlefieldPerhaps the best conclusion from this update is that the EA is preparing to share more about what it is working on. The next Battlefield won't arrive until at least 2024, but a full announcement could be made soon. Here's hoping it's a Battlefield that everyone can get excited about.
Next Battlefield is under development.
