War game Battlefield announced a new part this year

The company EA claims that this will be a Battlefield of “unprecedented scale”.

It’s been quite a while since the new Battlefield game came out. The last game, Battlefield 5, was released in September 2018. This is the longest gap between games in the history of the series.

However, now the good news has come to Battlefield fans: EA has confirmed that a new Battlefield game will be released this fall and will be revealed later this spring.

During EA’s earnings call today, EA CEO Andrew Wilson said that more information about the “next Battlefield experience,” which is set to launch this holiday season, will be revealed “in the coming months.” next.”

This isn’t news that can give us much to predict, but it’s the first news we’ve had about Battlefield since November, when Wilson said the game would be of “unprecedented scale”. He reiterated that promise today, saying that the game “takes full advantage of the power of next-gen platforms to bring massive and immersive battles to life with more players.” ever.”

Wilson added: “With maps of an unprecedented scale, the next Battlefield takes all of the destruction, player freedom, vehicles and weapons the franchise is famous for, and takes it to the next level. next.”

When pressed for more information near the end of the call, Wilson said: “We have nothing else to share with you at this point other than we believe it will usher in a new generation. for Battlefield games and Battlefield fans, and we’ll benefit from the full power of next-gen platforms. You should imagine that we’re looking at all kinds of experiences to make sure this is exactly the game that Battlefield fans want to play.”

These words may be encouraging for some players — especially if you’ve been disappointed by Battlefield 5 like many others. The return to World War II was met with a lukewarm reception from many fans of the previous game, Battlefield 1. Even BF5’s battle royale mode, Firestorm, was fast. quickly forgotten.

At the same time, the FPS landscape has changed dramatically since BF5 first launched. Call of Duty’s own battle royale game, for example, is currently free, which raises the question of whether EA is considering fully charging for Battlefield’s multiplayer or splitting it up as a separate product.

We’ll have to wait for the big reveal later this spring. Battlefield games are traditionally released in October, a month ahead of rival Call of Duty.
