The next Battlefield game, currently in the works at Electronic Arts, has the largest development team in the long-running series, EA CEO Andrew Wilson said during the company's fourth-quarter 2024 earnings call.
EA CEO says next Battlefield will have "great live service"… Ouch
Last month, EA announced that Motive, the studio behind the Dead Space remake and Star Wars: Squadron, would join DICE, Criterion, and Ripple Effect to “create a Battlefield universe with connected multiplayer experiences and single-player.” During the company’s May 7 earnings call (as documented by VGC), Wilson said he recently had a chance to preview a working build of the next Battlefield game.
“I visited the teams a couple of weeks ago and I couldn’t be more excited about what they were showing off and what we were able to play,” Wilson said in the conference Q&A. Later in the conversation, he said, “I’ve just spent a ton of time with the collective Battlefield team playing what they’re building, and it’s going to be another great live service.”
As for Battlefield 2042, EA recently announced that season seven, titled Turning Point, would be the last in its lifecycle. Wilson shared the company's perspective, citing lessons learned from the previous game: "With each immersive, action-packed season of Battlefield 2042, players made it clear they wanted an even deeper experience. Our teams listened to the community, learned valuable lessons, and are moving forward."
