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
Via Official PlayStation Magazine , which can be viewed here , Battlefield 6 appears on a list of confirmed titles for the PlayStation 5, alongside other EA properties like Dragon Age 4 and The Sims 5 . EA has doubled down on both the consoles and release date after their announcements last month, suggesting progress is going well and no hiccups or delays are expected. In fact, OSM claims that details will be coming shortly, asking users to "come back next issue for more info". While what the "more info" pertains to is entirely up to speculation, it's likely that the setting along with any major gameplay changes would be revealed, another signal that DICE are going ahead steadily on developm
In terms of what was specifically shown, the gameplay from DICE is very ambiguous. It's clearly an early prototype of gameplay for the next Battlefield game, but the assets themselves don't appear to be any different from Battlefield 5 . It's very possible the prototype gameplay shown was a repurposing of assets from Battlefield 5 showcasing what next-gen processing is capable of. That being said, it shows about around a hundred of what appear to be rendered models (all potentially players) moving in a single space. There also was a scene showing a building collapsing, which was more than likely showcasing a new version of Battlefield 's Destruction physics. Lastly, there were a few close-ups of an indistinct soldier's face rendered in high detail, though it wasn't clear if this was next-gen graphics rendered in-eng
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
EA Play's last few moments, at least before the announcement of Skate 's return, did show off some prototype gameplay of what appeared to be a Battlefield game. It's unclear if it was specifically Battlefield 6 , as it showed what looked like World War II soldiers running across an untextured plane. This was likely a re-use of assets in a new/repurposed development environment, so it's not indicative of a World War II setting or the final product by any means. That being said, Battlefield 6 will certainly need to live up to the expectations Miele is setting for fans. It's been too long since a proper Battlefield game has had its time in the spotlight, but what she's inferring may be enough to reinvent the franchise after Battlefield 5 's poor rele
After DICE ended support for Star Wars: Battlefront 2 at around the same time as Battlefield 5 , a majority of their resources can now be spent on the first next-gen game in the standout FPS series. The most anticipated information will be the reveal of the game's setting. Battlefield 5 saw the series return to its World War II roots, after a string of modern-day releases before the first-time visit of World War I in Battlefield
On a related note, Henderson briefly touched upon the topic of free-to-play. Lately, it’s becoming more common to see paid games implement some sort of free-to-play extension on the side, such as Call of Duty: Https://Battlefield2042Hq.Com/ Warzone and the multiplayer for Halo Infinite . And with EA and DICE potentially adding a battle royale mode to Battlefield 6 , it led Henderson to wonder, "could EA and DICE be planning a F2P Battlefield experien
From a speculation standpoint, it's hard to truly read between the lines here. It's clear all of this prototype gameplay was shown at EA Play Live in service to getting fans excited by the potential technology that could go into the next Battlefield game, but there wasn't too much shown. Considering EA Play Live premiered in June, and a new Battlefield game is planned for 2021, this footage was likely captured very early on in the game's developm
