That being said, this is just an interpretation of the next-gen prototypes shown in EA Play Live earlier this year. EA and DICE have confirmed that a new Battlefield game (presumably Battlefield 6 ) is headed for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and currently has a 2021 release window planned. Occasionally rumors have come out about the next Battlefield game, some of which have been proven false , others have no evidence or backing. Overall, it'll be interesting to see what's truly in store for the once revered shooter franch

One way Battlefield may be able to make a comeback is to improve their co-op and campaign modes. Last year, Battlefield V 's co-op mode was a sad, rushed mode that felt underwhelming and not prepared for release. EA also needs to capture their player's attention with a campaign mode filled with action, but, most importantly, iconic characters. Call of Duty 's campaigns are always iconic, with characters like Soap Mactavish and Captain Price that gamers always remember. Call of Duty 's Special Ops mode is also a great example of a fun co-op m

The most likely and most sensible next move for Battlefield is a modern setting . Players are clearly enjoying Modern Warfare 's take on current day weapons and locales, and it would be foolish for Battlefield 6 to focus in on yet another historical combat setting, especially since nothing could really top the scale and widespread interest for WWII. Futuristic settings have had their time for both Call of Duty and Battlefield , and it seems like popular interest has not yet cycled back around to that genre of shoo

Battlefield 6 developer DICE is well known for its quality products. Even though its Star Wars Battlefront games garnered high-profile controversy due to truly unfortunate microtransactions implementation by publisher EA, the base experience delivered by the development team was always unique and polished. The thing that DICE gets right in both Battlefield and Battlefront is the cinematic experience: so many moments in these games provide a sense of scale, grandeur, and chaos that is unparalleled in any other

In terms of what was specifically shown, the gameplay from DICE is very ambiguous. It's clearly an early prototype of gameplay for the next Battlefield 2042 Cheats game, but the assets themselves don't appear to be any different from Battlefield 5 . It's very possible the prototype gameplay shown was a repurposing of assets from Battlefield 5 showcasing what next-gen processing is capable of. That being said, it shows about around a hundred of what appear to be rendered models (all potentially players) moving in a single space. There also was a scene showing a building collapsing, which was more than likely showcasing a new version of Battlefield 's Destruction physics. Lastly, there were a few close-ups of an indistinct soldier's face rendered in high detail, though it wasn't clear if this was next-gen graphics rendered in-eng

This shouldn't discourage DICE from pursuing a battle royale in the future, and with another Battlefield game confirmed for 2021, it'd be worth another shot. That being said, assuming there is another Battlefield battle royale in the pipeline, there's going to be some stiff competition for future battle royales. Mainstays like Fortnite and Apex Legends have still stuck around to this day, evolving and changing with consistent support and dedicated fanbases. Even Call of Duty has proved with Warzone that established franchises can succeed in the genre as well, so long as the innovations is th

To do this, Battlefield needs to capitalize on what makes it special , come up with a unique and defining feature, or even both. One major thing that Battlefield still has over every other shooter out there is the sheer destruction the Frostbite engine is capable of. Destructible environments have been a mainstay for the franchise since Bad Company 2 , but it's become such a non-factor in recent entries. Emphasizing how destruction can change Battlefield 's battle royale would be a perfect integration of core mechanics with things like mortar strikes, more vehicles, anything to dial in on the chaos Battlefield does b

When EA Play took place earlier this year, EA hinted at their new **Battlefield ** game, which will be released sometime next year. Battlefield V was released back in 2018, and definitely did not live up to the hype and expectations that Battlefield 1 brought to fans of the series. The Battlefield series has had huge hits, such as Battlefield 3 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 , as well as disappointing lows such as Battlefield V and Battlefield: Hardline . On the other hand, the Call of Duty series has kept their fans happy with their recent games, especially with the massive success of Call of Duty Modern Warfare . Its exceptional battle royale mode, Warzone , has also been a huge attraction for Call of Duty play

Call of Duty will have much more momentum than Battlefield does going into 2021, mostly thanks to Warzone 's surprising success (and Firestorm 's failure). Call of Duty is at a peak of players and and success, but Black Ops Cold War will have to top the previous game if Activision wants to stay on top. Trailers and closed betas are making players excited for Black Ops Cold War , and EA has yet to do anything to revive the hype for a new Battlefield game. Will EA be able to bring back the age-old debate of Call of Duty vs Battlefie
