Thanks to the success of games like Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order , EA is clearly feeling ambitious about its future plans. Fans of its many properties will just have to wait and see how the company delivers on these ambitions once the PS5 and Xbox Series X hit shel
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
During EA Play's 2020 Live showcase, there was an interesting tidbit shared at the end of the show from chief studios officer Laura Miele. Towards the end of the showcase, EA showed off some very early next-gen development footage from EA's first-party development studios like BioWare, Criterion, and DICE. "Our studios are taking their crazy, ambitious ideas and making them real," stated Miele. "Every console generation DICE sets the bar for excellence in audio and visual presentation. We are creating epic battles at a scale and fidelity unlike anything you've experienced before." This is almost certainly in reference to Battlefield 6 , or whatever Battlefield title is currently in the works for 2
That being said, this is just an interpretation of the next-gen prototypes shown in EA Play Live earlier this year. EA and DICE have confirmed that a new Battlefield game (presumably Battlefield 6 ) is headed for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and currently has a 2021 release window planned. Occasionally rumors have come out about the next Battlefield game, some of which have been proven false , others have no evidence or backing. Overall, it'll be interesting to see what's truly in store for the once revered shooter franch
Battlefield 6 _ will have the largest scope of any game in the long-running series, and it's set to be released in the 2021 holiday season. Publisher EA previously revealed that the next title in the _Battlefield series would be released next year after it announced that Battlefield 5 and Star Wars: Battlefront 2 , both of which are developed by DICE, would be receiving their final content updates this y
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
Not much was said about the next-generation Battlefield . However during the call's Q&A, Wilson responded to a comment about the title saying he expects that DICE LA's new lead Vince Zampella and David Rota, the head of their European studios, are "having a really strong impact" and their teams will "do some pretty amazing thin
This new Battlefield will come alongside FIFA 22 and Madden NFL 22 as major launches in the 2022 fiscal year, on top of other "new and ongoing live services and other titles."

Electronic Arts is planning to release the next installment of its first-person shooter franchise Battlefield on next-generation consoles in the 2022 fiscal year according to EA's Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer Blake Jorgensen. The confirmation comes in prepared remarks from EA's 2020 third quarter fiscal earnings call by Jorgensen, Chief Executive Officer Andrew Wilson, and Vice President of Investor Relations Chris Evendan that were released Thurs
The last two Battlefield games have been set in World War I and World War II respectively, and while both of those setting are rife with interesting moments, great locales , and mountains of fun weapons and vehicles, it seems that most FPS players are leaning back towards modern settings. Luckily, many players are also craving a level of realism that Battlefield typically delivers in spades, which means Battlefield 6 will be well positioned to fill that r
Internal playtesting for Battlefield 6 is already underway, says Wilson, and that feedback on the game has been positive so far.
