New details about EA’s big plans for Battlefield 6 are leaking out

The next Battlefield promises a return to the Call of duty “core” of the competitor after the futuristic sequel from 2021 has driven away many loyal fans. The man in charge, longtime Respawn head Vince Zampella, quotes Battlefield 3 And 4 as the highlight of the currently untitled series Battlefield 6 will haunt.

“I mean, if you look back at the peak or the top of Battlefieldit is that Battlefield 3Battlefield 4 era when everything was modern,’ he said in a new interview with IGN“And I think we need to get back to the core of what Battlefield and doing amazingly well, and then we’ll see where it goes.”

Zampella, who was head of Infinity Ward at the time Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 1 And 2 exploded, listed a few features players can expect from the next game, and most of them sound like responses to what people didn’t like about Battlefield 2042. Besides being set in the present day, it also takes place in the next Battlefield will trade the 128 player cards for 64 player cards and go back to standard class loadouts instead of custom specialists that feel more like a hero shooter due to their unique perks.

“So I wasn’t there 2042“, he said IGN. “I don’t know what the reasoning was, but to me it’s like the team tried something new. You have to applaud that effort. Not everybody liked it, but you have to try things. It didn’t work. It didn’t fit. Specialist doesn’t come back. So classes are kind of the core of Battlefieldand that’s where we’re going back to.”

There is no release date set yet for the next Battlefieldwhich I will continue to call Battlefield 6 until EA says otherwise. Zampella has hinted at a community testing program coming to the game in 2025, but it’s still unclear what will make the series the behemoth it once was. Earlier this year, EA announced a Battlefield universe that sounded an awful lot like the microtransaction machine that spans the entire sequel Call of Duty: Warzone.

Battlefields used to come out about every two years. No Battlefield in 2025 would put the next game on the series’ longest development timeline in over a decade. “The core Battlefield “The players know what they want,” Zampella said. “They’ve been with us forever, they’re great supporters. We have to earn their trust back and get them back on our side. And then it’s expanding and getting more players into the universe and seeing what we can do, so if you want a different experience, you don’t have to leave Battlefield.”
