Rival franchise Call of Duty also did something similar, and has seen phenomenal success with its Modern Warfare reboot. It's not a one-to-one comparison by any means, but it should at least be encouraging for the Battlefield series. The Call of Duty series also put out a WWII shooter in 2017 that, while not exactly as unpopular as Battlefield 5 has become for fans, also had a particularly middling release even for a Call of Duty title. There were a few problems with microtransactions (a prevalent issue back in 2017 for several games) , the weapon and link web site perk variety in multiplayer, and story gripes as well. Then Call of Duty went back to basics with Modern Warfare , and so far has seen great success, not even counting Warzo
Fans were recently fooled by Battlefield 6 teasers that turned out to be a hoax . A series of cryptic videos were posted online that seemed to hint at the next entry in the series, but after several days of teasing, it was revealed that the videos were entirely fan-made. Players were desperate for an official announcement regarding the next Battlefield game and took the bait from the fan, so this official bit of news on a Holiday 2021 launch window should help the tricked fans c
It’s undeniable that Battlefield 5 was the most disappointing entry in the series for many players, and both EA and DICE have a lot of work to do with Battlefield 6 if they want to make up for all of its predecessor’s shortcomings. Hopefully, both companies have learned from the failure of Battlefield 5 and are able to revive hope and excitement for the series when they finally reveal more information on the game next y
That being said, taking that prototype gameplay at face value, it's clear that EA is inferring these new improvements in player density/fidelity and destruction refinements will be Battlefield 's key factors of success for next-gen . That's certainly not a bad thing, as having large-scale battlefields that evoke a simulation of war is exactly what Battlefield has done best in the past. The only major problem is that Battlefield 6 will need to make sure that these new additions are not just window dressing. These systemic improvements/refinements have to be done with purpose, not just for the sake of being technically impressive without any semblance of gameplay importa
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
Simply put, previous Battlefield games have seen success in a modern setting before so it makes sense to return there. Some of the most popular games in the franchise like Bad Company 1/2 and Battlefield 3/4 each saw great commercial and critical success depicting modern warfare. Battlefield is in a peculiar position it's honestly never really been in before, where the series got its start simulating battles of WWII but has now seen one of its worst-performing games based in WWII . Jumping back to a modern time period, as ironic as it may be, could be exactly what the franchise needs for a comeb
Speaking of which, one of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 's final expansions was also based in Vietnam , so the potential is there. There also was a Battlefield Vietnam released in 2004, so there's a few sources in Battlefield 's history that DICE could use as a jumping off point for a new iterat
In the same "Prepared Remarks" section of the EA earnings report that announced the delay of Apex Legends on Mobile , EA CEO Andrew Wilson shared news regarding the next Battlefield release. Wilson said that DICE is hard at work creating the "next Battlefield game with never-before-seen scale." Wilson went on to say that the power of new consoles allows the DICE team to "deliver on a true next-gen vision for the franchise," with "play testing underway internally" and "positive feedback on the game" so
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
