“ I intend , if you look back to the extremum or the pinnacle of Battlefield , it ’s thatBattlefield 3 … field 4era where everything was modern . And I think we have to get back to the core of what Battlefield is and do that amazingly well , and then we ’ll see where it run short from there . But I think for me , it ’s that point of field - cape is in thatBattlefield 3and4days . So I think it ’s nostalgic for players , for me , for the team even . Those are kind of the efflorescence … although I would say1942also . ”
you could see a very small mo of this in construct art divvy up with IGN . It ’s not much , but there is a short ton smoke and flames surrounding what looks like a European city . There are some helicopters late in the background , along with some ships , indicate that chopper and ship war will return .
This next Battlefield is a huge endeavour for EA , whichformed a team within Motive Studio(Dead Spaceremake ) to exclusively pore on Battlefield . EA ’s die , Criterion , and Ripple Effect Studios ( also manage by Zampella ) are also working on the new deed . Zampella did n’t specify what about the upcoming game would warrant such a immense effort , instead just saying it ’ll expand “ what Battlefield is . ”
EA is row - correcting afterBattlefield 2042 , which was heavily criticized at its 2021 launching for numerous technological bug , function that were too monolithic , and a specialist system that players order made the game too close to a torpedo shooter . It eventually find its footing and was able-bodied to wield a steady actor base through countless update — although the firsttook more than six monthsto outlet .
The squad looks like going back to basics for the next Battlefield , throwing away its 128 - actor maps after player feedback and buy the farm back to 64 - player 1 , which pass water the turn feel small and less about roaming around finding enemies .
“ Yeah , the 128 player , did it make it more fun ? Like … doing the number for the interest of the number does n’t make any sense , ” Zampella said . “ I ’d rather have nice , impenetrable , really nice , well - designed play spaces . Some of them are really good . I ca n’t wait for you to see some of them . ”
