Electronic Arts is planning to release the next installment of its first-person shooter franchise Battlefield on next-generation consoles in the 2022 fiscal year according to EA’s Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer Blake Jorgensen. The confirmation comes in prepared remarks from EA’s 2020 third quarter fiscal earnings call by Jorgensen, Chief Executive Officer Andrew Wilson, and Vice President of Investor Relations Chris Evendan that were released Thurs
While Modern Warfare has been wildly successful, Battlefield V hit a slump. The game was underwhelming and did not release enough content to keep players hooked, and its battle royale, Firestorm , definitely did not live up to expectations. It’s safe to say that Battlefield V put the series into a bad place, and it’ll be interesting to see if the next Battlefield game can revive the series. DICE and EA may be able to make a comeback, even with the hyped release of Black Ops Cold War later this y
The current game in the series, Battlefield 5 , was marred with issues from the day it was released. The game not only felt incomplete, with its miniscule map roster and plethora of bugs, but future updates were incredibly inconsistent and many promised features never saw the light of day, such as the 5v5 competitive mode . Even its attempt at a battle royale mode, called Firestorm in Battlefield 5 , wasn’t safe from its own set of issues. Battlefield 5’s life cycle was so turbulent that its final content patch was released last summer , more than a year before the next game in the series is expected to rele
Battlefield 6 is confirmed for the PS5 and Xbox Series X , making the game an inevitability. While fans have long awaited a return to Bad Company, at this point Bad Company 3 is beginning to feel more like a pipe dream than a possibility. But, that doesn’t mean that EA has to avoid the modern setting entirely. Battlefield 2042 guide|Https://Battlefield2042pedia.com/ 3 is still considered one of the best entries in the franchise to this day, and there are plenty of fans that would welcome a remaster of the g
Battlefield 6 is a next-gen game with a next-gen release date, with the game planned to launch sometime in the fiscal year 2022. That narrows it down to a launch window between October 2021 to September 2022. Traditionally, Battlefield releases in the fall with many of the year’s other heavy-hitters, so, a fall 2021 release date seems like the most likely possibility. That means Battlefield 6 won’t be competing with the next Call of Duty, it will exist in the wake of it and compete with the entry after that, which will presumably be from Sledgehammer games. The typical Call of Duty developer rotation has become a bit jumbled lately, as Sledgehammer’s next Call of Duty has reportedly had a troubled development cyc
Battlefield may have a hard time keeping up because of Call of Duty ‘s flexibility. Call of Duty: WW2 and Infinite Warfare are two different kinds of games, even though they’re both under the Call of Duty series. Battlefield can only change their style a little, and has to keep to realistic combat. Players like Battlefield for its detail and realism , meaning if EA goes away from that, there is a chance it could be just another total failure of a game. Nonetheless, going for possibly a more futuristic style of gameplay or something the FPS community hasn’t seen before could be what Battlefield needs to stay popu
Back during the peak battle royale craze, practically every shooter that wasn’t Fortnite or PUBG wanted to get in on the action. While the explosion of the battle royale craze did spawn some awesome games like Apex Legends and Call of Duty: Warzone , there have been some that just didn’t change much and fell flat. One in particular was Battlefield 5 ‘s Firestorm mode, which fizzled out just as soon as it came
Wilson said in his opening remarks that the success of many games including Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order , Apex Legends (which is moving forward with a mobile release ), Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville , and titles out of EA Sports have positioned the company to continue growing and expanding into Asia. With particular credit given to Fallen Order and Apex Legends , EA has “generated record operating cash flow,” a net revenue of $1.593 billion, over the last year according to Jorgen

Internal playtesting for Battlefield 6 is already underway, says Wilson, and that feedback on the game has been positive so far. With the game set to launch sometime late next year, the company plans to show off more about its next Battlefield game in the coming spring. According to EA, Battlefield 6 will be one of six new next-generation games, which also include a new Need for Speed game, that the company plans to launch during the 2022 fiscal year, which runs from April 2021 to March 2
