Since the initial announcement for Battlefield 2042, many fans were anticipating the series’ return to form with its new embrace for modern combat. In our review: “Battlefield 2042 has elements of a good game, and in the technology moves the franchise forward in big ways, “ we wrote. “Unfortunately technical issues and some questionable design elements prevent it from being an all time classic.”

Following the response, Developer DICE has continued to undo this damage retaining some support of its players. However, Electronic Arts is already looking to a new direction for the series. For one, Respawn Entertainment founder Vince Zampella is the overseeing manager for Battlefield. Additionally, former Halo creator Marcus Lehto is also involved at Ridgeline Studios working on the new story for the IP.

In a previous financial report from Electronic Arts, the publisher has acknowledged the series is to make a comeback in an “entirely new way,” it was told then. Now from Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson, he explains the Battlefield as we know it is facing a “reimagination” for the better for its next big release.

Wilson tells the new game is “a reimagination of Battlefield as a truly connected ecosystem.” But what could that mean; ‘a truly connected ecosystem?’ Previously, Electronic Arts did have plans to tackle Battlefield on mobile, but the project was shuttered alongside Apex Legends Mobile. During the statement then, the publisher told the same concern of the ecosystem is a priority for the series moving forward.

Similarly, Electronic Arts is doing the same with its first-person shooter approach for Star Wars. After DICE’s handling of the Battlefront duology, the team has handed the reigns to Respawn Entertainment once more to work on a new project with Lucasfilm Games.
