EA: New battlefield will make the most of next generation consoles

EA has spoken at length that a new Battlefield game will be released in 2021 with a revelation planned for spring. Today, during EA’s last financial call, the company reaffirmed this timeline and says that the next Battlefield game will “take full advantage” of next generation platforms. During EA’s last investor call, EA CEO Andrew Wilson confirmed that the next Battlefield game will be released on holiday this year and a revelation is planned for spring. During the question and answer part, Wilson shared more details about the next battlefield, close to a revelation.

When asked about the next Battlefield game, Wilson said he will use “all the power of the next generation platforms to ensure that this is ‘exactly’ the game that Battlefield fans want to play.”

Wilson also says that the next battlefield will be a return to “total military war” and will support more players than ever. The hope is that the next Battlefield game will pave the way for the series in the future.

A lot is happening in the next Battlefield game. Battlefield 5 was the last game in the series released by EA, and that was in 2018. Battlefield 5’s reception didn’t live up to expectations and regular content updates for Battlefield 5 ended in 2020.

Have you played Battlefield V?

YESNO

EA has announced that it will take a long time to develop a new Battlefield title, regularly citing a 2021 launch window for the next series. During this time, EA changed its structure, moving Vince Zampella from Respawn to lead DICE LA.

Come back in the spring, when EA is expected to officially reveal the next Battlefield game.
