Previous Battlefield 2042 Dud and Future
Battlefield 2042 from 2021 was a dud. Despite the initial problems and lack of content, the multiplayer shooter became quite popular. Electronic Arts and the development studios are determined to right the wrongs of the past and ensure the new Battlefield lives up to the community’s expectations and is entertaining.
According to a report by Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson, the development of the new Battlefield is intertwined with massive internal playtests. Selected players should be able to play the game much more often than in the development of previous installments. As a result, a huge amount of data has been collected. This kind of feedback is unprecedented in the history of the brand. All this to ensure that this Battlefield is a success. This should avoid mistakes like removing the traditional class system in favor of operators. EA has high hopes for the game. After all, studios like DICE, Motive, Criterion Games and Ripple Effect are also working on it. It should offer a story campaign and various multiplayer modes. It will officially bring modern times and battles for 64 players (32 vs 32).
Gibraltar Battle
“We’re making something that’s more like previous Battlefields,” said head of development Vince Zampella, who previously founded the studios where the Call of Duty and Titanfall franchises were created, earlier.
According to the artwork, we’ll be taking a look at Gibraltar. The latter makes sense in a fictional conflict, forming a strategic bridge between Europe and Africa. Henderson has previously stated that the story takes place between 2027 and 2030. It is to focus on a huge private army fighting NATO in various locations around the world. Next year, more players can try Battlefield as part of a community program. We’ll see if it also comes out in 2025.
