The road EA is taking with the next Battlefield has been slowly coming into view in the months since the company began to right the Battlefield 2042 ship. That may not necessarily be evident, if all you’ve been really following is 2042’s constantly evolving state. Behind the scenes, however, EA and series creator DICE have been putting together the building blocks for what is very likely not going to be just a standard sequel in the storied military shooter series.
In the simplest possible terms, EA clearly wants to revive the long-lost dream of seriously competing against Call of Duty. The plan, judging by all the moves the publisher has been making over the past year and change, is seemingly to do what Activision did with its own series.
