A new Battlefield game will launch this year – EA confirms

During the company’s latest earnings call, EA confirmed that their next Battlefield game would be released later this year, taking advantage of next-generation gaming systems. 

EA’s new Battlefield title will be announced in Spring 2021 and release within the Holiday 2021 timeframe. At this time the setting of EA’s next Battlefield game remains unknown, though the game is said to feature full-out military warfare and that the game’s development is reportedly progressing well. 

During their earnings call, EA confirmed that their new Battlefield game would be feature complete at an earlier time than prior entries in the series, a factor which should allow EA to deliver the game on time and without any major bugs. 

In addition to their new Battlefield game, EA confirmed that they have 35 new games at various stages of development. This should ensure that EA has plenty of games to release in the foreseeable future. 

EA’s next Battlefield title is said to feature a “never-before-seen scale” and “usher in a new generation for Battlefield games”. Given this comment, it seems likely that EA’s new Battlefield game will be a next-generation exclusive. How else could EA achieve a Battlefield game on such a massive scale?
