It seems that EA is eager to get a slice of the popular Call Of Duty franchise. While fans are patiently awaiting an official announcement for the next installment of the Battlefield series, a former developer has come forward with some interesting claims. According to this alleged insider, the majority of the developers working on the next Battlefield game are new to the series.
With the completion of Battlefield 2042 last year, all eyes are on EA and what they have in store for the future of the franchise. Despite talking extensively about their plans for Battlefield, EA has yet to reveal any concrete details or show any gameplay footage. However, it is clear that they have big ambitions for the series, with four different studios working together to create a "Battlefield universe" that includes both multiplayer and single-player experiences.
According to EA CEO Andrew Wilson, this is the largest team ever assembled to work on a Battlefield game. However, the alleged insider claims that the four studios are actually collaborating on a single game and that most of the staff have no prior experience with the franchise. This information comes from a user on the Bluesky forums who goes by the name Rizible, claiming to be a former employee at DICE, the main developer behind the Battlefield series. In a lengthy post over the weekend, Rizible shared their insights on the recent history of the franchise.
One of the most surprising claims made by Rizible is that a staggering 98% of the staff who have worked on Battlefield have left EA. This means that the next game is being primarily handled by newcomers. In addition to DICE, EA has enlisted the help of three other studios - Criterion, Ripple Effect, and EA Motive - to work on the new Battlefield.
This approach is similar to how Activision handles the Call Of Duty franchise, which is not surprising considering that former Call Of Duty veteran Vince Zampella is now in charge of the Battlefield series. It seems that EA is taking inspiration from Activision's success, with rumors of a Warzone-style live service game and a potential annual release schedule. This is not a new aspiration for the series, from EA's perspective.
Instead of having each studio work on a different game, Rizible claims that the four studios are dividing the workload based on different aspects of the same game. The game is rumored to be launching this year, and Rizible admits that they have not worked at EA since the addition of Criterion and Motive to the project. They also suggest that EA is trying to mimic the release schedule of Call Of Duty with annual releases.
In closing, Rizible warns Battlefield fans to temper their expectations for the next game. They point out that this is a new era for the franchise, with a completely new team and a new philosophy. Whether this will be a positive or negative change will depend on personal outlook. However, it is clear that EA is making a significant push for the series, with rumors of extensive playtesting and a determination to keep the franchise going despite recent failures.
The next installment in the Battlefield series, rumored to be called Battlefield 6, is expected to be everything that Battlefield 2042 was not.
