Published:

Next Battlefield promises to return to Call to duty “core” of the competitor following the futuristic 2021 sequel scared off a lot of longtime fans. The man responsible, longtime Respawn boss Vince Zampella, quotes Battlefield 3 AND 4 as the pinnacle of a series that currently has no title Battlefield 6 will chase.

“I mean, if you look back at the top or the peak Battlefieldthat’s it Battlefield 3Battlefield 4 “an era in which everything was current,” he said in recent interview with IGN“And I think we need to get back to the heart of this, Battlefield and it does it amazingly well, and then we’ll see what happens next.”

Zampella, who was then the head of Infinity Ward Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 1 AND 2 exploded, listed a bunch of features players can expect from the next game, and most of them sound like reactions to what people didn’t like Battlefield 2042. In addition to the fact that the action takes place on the current day, the next Battlefield will ditch the 128-player maps for 64-player maps, and return to standard class rosters instead of custom specialists that, with their unique perks, feel more like hero shooters.

“So I wasn’t there, 2042“he said IGN“I don’t know what the reasons were, but for me it was like the team tried something recent. You have to appreciate the effort. Not everyone liked it, but you have to try. It didn’t work. It didn’t fit. Specialist won’t be coming back. So the classes are kind of the point Battlefieldand we come back to that.”

There is still no release date for the next one Battlefieldwhich I will continue to call Battlefield 6 until EA announces otherwise. Zampella hinted at a community testing program for 2025, but it’s still unclear what exactly will bring the series back to its former glory. Earlier this year, EA announced Battlefield universe it sounded a lot like a micropayment machine involving a sequel, which is Call of Duty: Warzone.

Battlefields came out about every two years. No Battlefield in 2025 would put the next game on the series’ longest development schedule in over a decade. “The basic Battlefield players know what they want,” Zampella said. “They’ve been with us forever, they’re incredible supporters. We need to regain their trust and get them on our side again. And then that expands and brings more players into the universe and see what we can do, so when you want a different experience, you don’t have to leave Battlefield.”
