While most Battlefield fans (including this guy) sees Battlefield 5 as a misstep for the franchise, EA seems confident that fans will love what they see from this year’s Battlefield game tentatively titled Battlefield 6.
During EA’s quarterly earnings call, Andrew Wilson refrained from sharing any specific info regarding the upcoming shooter, though did state that this year’s Battlefield title will “usher in a new generation” for Battlefield games, and that this upcoming entry into the franchise will “exactly” be the game that Battlefield fans want.
Michael Ng (Goldman Sachs): With first-person shooters using free-to-play game mode to expand the top funnel, could you talk a little bit about your ambition to do something like that with Battlefield? Is there anything you could share with us about the content road map?
Andrew Wilson (EA CEO): On Battlefield, we don’t have anything more to share with you at this point other than we believe that it’s going to usher in a new generation for Battlefield games and Battlefield fans and we’ll be taking — benefiting from the full power of next-gen platforms. And you should imagine that we’re looking across all forms of the experience to ensure that this is exactly the game that Battlefield fans want to play and the game that we believe will drive growth in the Battlefield franchise. But more on that to come in the month ahead and we’re excited to share more on that at the appropriate time.
If you’re a big of a Battlefield fan as I am, you’re no doubt itching to know more. Thankfully, the wait won’t be long as EA has confirmed that we’ll be seeing the game’s reveal sometime in Spring 2021, and that it’ll feature “more players than ever before,” which leads into this whole “usher in a new generation” quote as well.

BF6 has big shoes to fill, after BF3. That’s right… BF3. BF3 is still the best BF to date. If BF6 is equal or surpasses BF3… I’ll buy a PS5. If not……

I can’t believe this post has to “WAIT TO BE APPROVED” to post! Whatever….
imma try and fix that issue
The fans want Bad Company 3 and you know it. EA straight up lying to in plain sight yet again. And I thought 2021 would be different after the 100% positive news that Mass Effect Remaster was sticking with Unreal Engine 3…………… which is still better then going with that Frostbite garbage.
Should have been unreal engine 4 tbh the fact that it’s sticking with 3 is a let down imo. Also frostbite is actually a good engine when used well…
True but you are expecting way to much from current Bioware if you think they could handle such a thing lol. Remember, Bioware haven’t even made an Unreal Engine 4 game to date.
My bar is buried.
1 was a nice theme but butchered constantly with tons of revisionist history. Balance was garbage.
V was the same. History was even worse. Pace and weight was completely off.
Hardline was an abortion. Period.
4 did a lot well, but ruined tons more. Destruction particularly.
3, for lack of a better example, was your series peak for modern games and that came out ages ago. The amount you have to get right in order to bring me back isn’t confidence inspiring. Maps have gone down hill for a long time. The amount of weapons to pick from gets seemingly smaller every game (yes, they pad it with garbage, especially 1). Destruction needs to be player controlled at the miniature level, not giant levelution crap that crap that does one of the following things.
1. Your good map becomes bad.
2. Your bad map becomes worse.
3. Your map is so comically bad its just a lame scripted event off in the corner that nobody cares about.
Air dominance has been an issue for many titles and honestly needs to be redone from the ground up. Game modes have lost focus and your matches become something you play in, rather than a match to be won. Lack of matchmaking in favor of server crap that’s nice for a few things but ultimately casualizes each and every game where people simply quit, rejoin, swap teams and never play seriously. Here comes the team of snipers doing nothing in the mountain meme. You’ve made the game into a meme generator where streamers pretend to be Gods against people you could replace with rocks and the results wouldn’t change.
Bad company 3 made by someone who loves what the series used to do. Hard reboot from 3(ish), designed completely by someone who wants it to be a good game. No shareholders. No moron managers. No marketing to appease to and no focus testing.
LOL!!! They say that every year of release, yet the experience they release gets worse & worse! I haven’t bought a Battlefield game since Battlefield 4 (oh I did also buy Battlefield Hardline, but I don’t consider that a Battlefield game).
Just expand on 3 and 4 and we Gucci.
Exactly! 😀 Give us more of BF3 and BF4, and we goooood!
I don’t feel educated enough to buy this game. Far-left Swedish ‘enlightenment’ is just too high concept for me to grasp, so per instruction, I don’t think I should buy the game.
Stop perpetuating this crap. The fans just want a great Battlefield game and I believe they will have it.
SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT
Well, if they make it like BF3 or BF4, I think a lot of fans will be very happy, and doing that won’t be that hard…
There is a massive difference between BF3 and BF4 for me personally it was 1400 hours in BF3 and less than 400 and BF4.
One example, full destruction vs levolution, was not a good change.
