Electronic Arts has revealed some initial details about the upcoming instalment of the Battlefield series. The game will be set in the modern era and will move away from the specialisation system that was unpopular in the previous part. Vince Zampella, Chairman of the Board of Respawn and Battlefield boss, told about this in an interview.

The future of Battlefield

Zampella expressed his desire to return to the essence of what made Battlefield successful in the past. Especially in the era of Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4. According to Zampella, the focus is on delivering a high-quality gaming experience that encompasses the core elements of the franchise. This statement suggests that the next Battlefield game will have more traditional classes. The specialised approach that we saw in Battlefield 2042 will not be returned to the new part of the game.

The next Battlefield game may move away from large-scale maps and 128-player matches like Battlefield 2042. Instead, it will focus on more focused and well-designed game spaces. The number of players shouldn’t increase just for the sake of increasing the number of players. Currently, the Electronic Arts development team is focused on creating a more enjoyable gaming experience.

In addition, Zampella noted that specialists, a unique class system introduced in Battlefield 2042, will not return in the next game. At the time, players did not like it and received a lot of negative feedback. Instead, the game will feature a more traditional class system.

Battlefield 2042, which released in 2021, faced various problems during its launch. These were both technical problems and frequent criticism, which made EA consider it a failure. To avoid a similar fate, the development of the next Battlefield game has undergone significant changes. EA is assembling the largest Battlefield development team in history to bring players truly unique and exciting content. Details on the release date of the new game have not yet announced.
