During EA Play’s 2020 Live showcase, there was an interesting tidbit shared at the end of the show from chief studios officer Laura Miele. Towards the end of the showcase, EA showed off some very early next-gen development footage from EA’s first-party development studios like BioWare, Criterion, and DICE. “Our studios are taking their crazy, ambitious ideas and making them real,” stated Miele. “Every console generation DICE sets the bar for excellence in audio and visual presentation. We are creating epic battles at a scale and fidelity unlike anything you’ve experienced before.” This is almost certainly in reference to Battlefield 6 , or whatever Battlefield title is currently in the works for 2

Having sold eight million copies in its first month, and scoring 89% on Metacritic for its PC version, Battlefield 3 was one of the most popular games in the series and helped push the series into the mainstream even more as a legit competitor against Call of Duty . Battlefield 4 continued that, also embracing the same modern setting, and both games remain arguably the most favored in the series. As for the BF3 remaster rumors, that seems odd and inexplicable at this point to re-release a modern set game alongside a new modern set game, splitting a player base they so desperately need to keep large to support large player cou

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 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

Reliable Call of Duty leaker Tom Henderson recently tweeted out a response to another leaker named Anton Logvinov. The Russia-based insider, while echoing claims that the game is running well, claimed that the game is something fans will not want. Henderson describes himself as a “long time fan of the Battlefield franchise” and says that he does “believe it’s what fans want,” so it will be interesting to see which leaker is ultimately correct regarding Battlefield

Battlefield needs to reinvent its image , and that could be as simple as looking to the past to inspire the future. The Bad Company games in particular would be a good start, as these games never truly took themselves seriously. Even though Bad Company 2 eschewed a lot of the silliness from the first game, multiplayer in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was the right balance of simulation vs. fun factor. Battlefield could definitely use a dose of that nowadays, especially after Battlefield

While the games are often praised for their intense gameplay that rewards strategy and skill, Battlefield 5 never quite met the standard of its predecessors. EA changed its model to live service, foregoing the “Premium Pass” offered by previous games in favor of gradual free updates for Battlefield2042hq.com everyone. As a consequence, Battlefield 5 was light on content at release, and not all of the updates were able to completely rectify that, including its disappointing Battle Royale mode . EA has said the live service model would continue for the next installment in the Battlefield franchise, despite the middling reception it recei

Of course, the Battlefield franchise could surprise fans with something completely new for the series. Perhaps not as outlandish Battlefield Hardline , but something like a completely new time period or setting. There’s still a variety of conflicts throughout world history that many games, not just Battlefield , still haven’t tackled in a video game. Conflicts like the American Civil War, the Korean War, and the modern 20th century Middle Eastern conflicts come to mind. Any one of those wars would be a wild departure for the series thus far, but would be incredibly unique. It would give a chance for players to get to know some of the lesser conflicts in world history that are worth know

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
