Wilson declined to comment on how the shift might impact other companies, although he noted that the long lead-up to major game launches means &#8220;that if you weren&#8217;t already ready to launch in this window, it may be hard to get ready and take advantage of what might be otherwise a less competitive window than we may have anticipated earlier.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But for the next <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/battlefield-6\/\">Battlefield<\/a>, it&#8217;s great: The game was already slated to launch <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/the-next-battlefield-game-is-set-to-release-before-april-2026\/\">sometime in EA&#8217;s 2026 fiscal year<\/a>, which ends in March 2026, so there&#8217;s really nothing EA needs to do except show up on time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What we have said all along is we&#8217;ve been building towards a window that we thought made the most sense for Battlefield, but we wouldn&#8217;t launch into a window that we thought truncated the value that we&#8217;ve invested into the franchise or the value that we think our players will derive from it once they jump in and start playing,&#8221; Wilson said, using CEO-speak to explain that there was no way EA was going to put Battlefield anywhere near GTA 6.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think now, without going too far, we believe that window is clearer than it was before, and we feel very good about launching Battlefield in FY &#8217;26.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not quite as unrestrained a statement as the all-caps thrill shared by Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 actor <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/kingdom-come-deliverance-2-actor-celebrates-the-grand-theft-auto-6-delay-were-in-with-a-shot-goty\/\">Luke Dale<\/a>, but there&#8217;s no mistaking the sentiment: The GTA 6 delay is a big win for EA.<\/p>\n<p>EA is going hard on the next Battlefield game, with four studios working on it\u2014Criterion, DICE, Ripple Effect (formerly DICE LA), and Motive\u2014and a major playtesting initiative called <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/the-first-10-seconds-of-gameplay-for-the-next-battlefield-looks-a-lot-like-battlefield-3-playtest-signups-are-now-live\/\">Battlefield Labs<\/a>. The official reveal isn&#8217;t set to happen until this summer, and there&#8217;s always the possibility that it could be delayed too, which would be very bad news for EA. There&#8217;s no sign of that happening at this point, and in fact Wilson said during the same call that the response to the new game during playtesting &#8220;has far exceeded expectations,&#8221; but even so I suspect there&#8217;ll be some real pressure on the development team to ensure it gets done on time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"f92f49cf-9796-42ec-b1d6-90b698775c8d\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/electronic-arts-ceo-feels-very-good-about-the-next-battlefields-launch-now-that-grand-theft-auto-6-is-out-of-the-way.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"f92f49cf-9796-42ec-b1d6-90b698775c8d\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<strong><br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/electronic-arts-ceo-feels-very-good-about-the-next-battlefields-launch-now-that-grand-theft-auto-6-is-out-of-the-way\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant,&#8221; former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau said in 1969, describing the relationship between the US and Canada. &#8220;No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt.&#8221; This is also true of some videogames, which are so massive that their impact has ripples across the entire industry\u2014Cyberpunk 2077, for instance, muscled more than a couple games out of its way ahead of its splashdown in 2020.
