According to Electronic Arts' CEO Andrew Wilson, the next majorBattlefieldgame is “another tremendous live service” title.
As reported byVGC, during the company’s quarterly earnings call on May 7, Wilson said that he was recently able to experience the nextBattlefieldgame currently in development at EA DICE and that he’s excited about what he saw and what he played.
“This is the largestBattlefieldteam in franchise history,” Wilson said. “A few weeks ago, I was visiting with the teams, and I couldn’t be more excited about what they showed and what we were able to play.”
Last month it was reported that Motive - the studio behind 2023’s remake ofDead SpaceandStar Wars: Squadrons- hadjoined the Battlefield team at EA, alongside Criterion and Ripple Effect, to help build a “Battlefielduniverse across connected multiplayer experiences and single-player”.
There’s no news on when we can expect the next major title, but Wilson was able to confirm later in the earnings call that it will be another live service game, suggesting it could be a lot likeBattlefield 2042and its ongoing post-launch content.
“I’ve just spent a whole bunch of time with the collectiveBattlefieldteam playing what they’re building and it is going to be another tremendous live service,” he said.
Moreover, EA also confirmed in the earnings report that it has plans to release two unannounced titles during its current fiscal year ending on March 31, 2025.
