The Battlefield franchise has been dormant for some time, with Battlefield 5’s release back in November 2018 being the last new entry in the series. EA has finally revealed when the next Battlefield game will be arriving, though for fans anxious for more Battlefield action, it seems like the wait will go on for a good bit longer.
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 far.
With DICE supposedly having “crazy ambitious ideas” planned for Battlefield 6, Wilson’s talk of unprecedented scale and the power of next-gen consoles seems fitting. These remarks accompanied the game’s release window, however, which sees the next Battlefield project lined up for a release during the 2021 Holiday season. While this may be a good bit away, having a general idea of when the next game will be releasing should be comforting for Battlefield fans.
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 cope.
With the latest Call of Duty taking a Battlefield-like approach to certain modes, with vehicles and larger scale play via Combined Arms, it will be interesting to see if the Battlefield series changes further or sticks to its guns. While fans can expect large-scale gameplay and some level of destruction, as those are core elements of Battlefield’s DNA, little else is known about the next game in the series. With opportunities for a futuristic setting in Battlefield 2143, a follow-up to Bad Company 2, or a return to modern day Battlefield action, anything is possible for DICE’s current Battlefield project.
For players still playing Battlefield 5, the game recently saw the addition of new skins as October ended. While the wait for more Battlefield 6 details may seem never-ending, dressing up in Battlefield 5’s Halloween skins should make it a tiny bit more bearable – even if only for a little while.
Battlefield 6 is currently in development with a tentative release window of Holiday 2021.
