While there’s not a lot to go on when it comes to the next Battlefield game, we do know that the new game is not solely being developed by DICE, but alongside new first-party studio Ripple Effect, who is handling the single-player campaign, and is also being spearheaded by Respawn boss Vince Zampella, who now also acts as the new big boss when it comes to the Battlefield franchise as a whole.

Speaking at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia & Technology Conference, Electronic Arts (EA) CEO Andrew Wilson comments on how a former competitor is now building a Battlefield “for the future.”
The relaunch of Battlefield, one of the great first-person shooters of our generation. We employed a leadership group from our competitor who has basically rearchitected how that competitor went to market and they’re building Battlefield for the future. I’m unbelievably excited about that. – Andrew Wilson, EA CEO
Wilson’s comment somehow ties into earlier comments on how the next Battlefield title is a “reimagination of a truly connected ecosystem,” which seems like a nice play on words on how it’ll integrate live services.
Let’s hope that whatever future building EA is doing for Battlefield now, it’s something players will embrace the moment it’s released.

As long as they go back to the basics and make the game like Battlefield 4 and not like 2042.
Yeah and Battlefield 2042 was built for the garbage bin.
The word “Future” triggers me when y’all say it. 2042 was terrible. Coming from a WW game TWICE!!! and Cannon balled into a futuristic era was a terrible move. Redeem your self and fan base with a MODERN DAY era game! Please!!!. I’ve been playing BF since BF2 Modern Combat and haven’t missed a entry yet. To date Hardline and 2042 were the worst.
they obviously dont mean future by the literal gameplay being in the future. Future as in they are building this game to be revolutionary and last many years after release
It may be similar to the pc battlefield 2142. I thought 2042 was a prequel to 2142.
BF2:MC on PS2! Those were the days🔥
Please bring back Platoons!
Two words Bad Company.
