One area in particular that Battlefield definitely doesn’t need to focus on is the single player content. In fact, the franchise would frankly do better without it entirely. Arguably, the last good Battlefield single player story was Battlefield 1 , and even then, the campaign took a back seat to multiplayer just like every other modern Battlefield game that preceded it. Classic Battlefield titles are fondly remembered for their multiplayer experiences, and even though games in the past have had endearing characters like in Bad Company , they just haven't been exceptional. Multiplayer should be Battlefield 's primary directive, improving trademark modes like Conquest whilst implementing something new as w

Henderson wouldn’t say if this means DICE will be bringing 64-vs-64 modes to Battlefield 6 as well, but did suggest that EA and DICE are considering putting that increased player count to use in some sort of battle royale, citing "increased interest" from the two due to the success of Call of Duty: Warzo

DICE might have another Battlefield game in the works alongside Battlefield 6 . According to a September rumor, a remake of Battlefield 3 , one of the most popular installments in the series, could be in development. The source of the leak is the Stockholm studio itself. On Twitter, DICE posted a short clip from the game followed by a "What?" question, which could either indicate a Battlefield 3 remaster or subtly confirm the modern setting for Battlefield 6 . Regardless, nothing else has been shared in regards to that since the initial September publicat

Electronic Arts is planning to release the next installment of its first-person shooter franchise Battlefield on next-generation consoles in the 2022 fiscal year according to EA's Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer Blake Jorgensen. The confirmation comes in prepared remarks from EA's 2020 third quarter fiscal earnings call by Jorgensen, Chief Executive Officer Andrew Wilson, and Vice President of Investor Relations Chris Evendan that were released Thurs

Consider 2017's Battlefront 2 , a Star Wars property that borrows many of the same gameplay elements from Battlefield . There was an undeniably dedicated amount of work put into the singleplayer story of Battlefront 2 , and yet it was one of the lesser portions of that game. The Star Wars franchise is (more or less) known for engaging storytelling, but for a main IP like Star Wars ' Battlefront to have a story mode that's largely ignored or glossed over, it shows that EA's shooter gameplay carries itself over an engrossing storyline. Battlefield 2042 updates doesn't even have an established ethos or universe to draw from like Star Wars , so another story campaign in Battlefield likely won't do well unless it's revolution

Internal playtesting for Battlefield 6 is already underway, says Wilson, and that feedback on the game has been positive so far. With the game set to launch sometime late next year, the company plans to show off more about its next Battlefield game in the coming spring. According to EA, Battlefield 6 will be one of six new next-generation games, which also include a new Need for Speed game, that the company plans to launch during the 2022 fiscal year, which runs from April 2021 to March 2

Other big takeaways from the call include the fact that Madden NFL 20 is the best performing game in its series' 30-year history, that live services are expected to be a primary growth driver in the 2021 fiscal year, and that the company will have four esports franchises in the coming year. Wilson also says they will be approaching next-generation consoles "with some of our top titles," though it's currently believed the PS5 will have more of its own exclusive titles at lau

Presently, there isn’t much that’s known about EA and DICE’s next military shooter other than it’s confirmed to be in development for PS5 and Xbox Series X. Much of the discussion around it, as such, has been just speculation and rumor, with the most popular currently being that Battlefield 6 will return to a modern setting , following Battlefield 1 and Battlefield 5 ’s detours in the World Wars. But as far as actual gameplay information goes, that’s been nonexistent so

One of the defining aspects of Battlefield since the beginning has always been destruction. The mechanics have iterated and changed over the years, but in more recent titles in the franchise, destruction seems to have unintentionally become less important. Games like Bad Company and Battlefield 3 used to employ destruction in a functionally relevant manner, making the mechanic an integral part of the environment design. Playing Rush in Bad Company 2 generally meant blowing holes into M-COM stations to breach and set a charge, or even take the whole building down if that's more via

Not much was said about the next-generation Battlefield . However during the call's Q&A, Wilson responded to a comment about the title saying he expects that DICE LA's new lead Vince Zampella and David Rota, the head of their European studios, are "having a really strong impact" and their teams will "do some pretty amazing thin
