The next Battlefield promises a return to the Call of Duty “Core” of the competitor after the futuristic sequel to 2021 has alienated many long-time fans. The person responsible, long-time Respawn boss Vince Zampella, quotes Battlefield 3 And 4 as the climax of the series, the currently untitled Battlefield 6 will hunt.
“I mean, if you look back at the peak or the peak of Battlefieldit is the Battlefield 3…Battlefield 4 Era when everything was modern,” he said in a new interview with IGN“And I think we need to get back to the core of what Battlefield and does it amazingly well, and then we’ll see how it goes.”
Zampella, who was then head of Infinity Ward Call of Duty: Modern War 1 And 2 exploded, listed a few features that players can expect from the next game, and most of them sound like reactions to what people didn’t like Battlefield 2042In addition to setting the current day, the next Battlefield will replace the 128-player maps with 64-player ones and return to standard class loadouts rather than custom specialists, which give more of a hero shooter feel with their unique perks.
“So I wasn’t there for 2042”, he said IGN. “I don’t know what the reasoning was, but to me it’s like the team tried something new. You have to praise that effort. Not everyone liked it, but you had to try things. It didn’t work. It didn’t fit. Specialist is not coming back. So classes are kind of the core of Battlefieldand we will return there.”
There is no fixed release date for the next Battlefieldwhich I will continue to mention Battlefield 6 until EA announces otherwise. Zampella hinted that a community testing program for the game is planned for 2025, but it’s still not clear what will make the series the juggernaut it once was. Earlier this year, EA announced a Battlefield universe that sounded a lot like the sequel-spanning microtransaction engine that Call of Duty: Warzone.
Battlefields appeared approximately every two years. No Battlefield in 2025, the next game would mark the longest development time for the series in over a decade. “The core Battlefield “The players know what they want,” Zampella said. “They’ve always been with us, they’ve been great supporters. We need to regain their trust and get them back on our side. And then it’s about expanding and bringing more players into the universe and seeing what we can do so that if you want a different experience, you don’t have to leave. Battlefield.”
