New Battlefield Game Gets First Details and Battlefield 4 Fans Should Be Excited

As a seasoned gamer with decades of Battlefield under my belt, hearing that EA is returning to its roots with the next installment of this iconic series fills me with a sense of nostalgia tinged with anticipation. I remember the thrill of urban warfare in Battlefield 3 and 4, the adrenaline rush of those modern battlefields echoing in my ears even now. The return to a modern setting is a welcome change after the historical detours of Battlefield 1 and Battlefield V, and 2042 was just a little too futuristic for my taste.


Electronic Arts (EA) has unveiled initial information about its forthcoming game in the Battlefield series, and it appears quite reminiscent of Battlefield 4. Over the past few years, EA has been open about their ongoing Battlefield projects following Battlefield 2042. Four studios – DICE, Motive, Ripple Effect, and Criterion – are all contributing to these Battlefield games in various ways, although specifics have remained largely undisclosed. Now, after a prolonged period of secrecy, EA has begun revealing glimpses into the future of Battlefield.

According to a recent update by IGN, some initial details about the upcoming Battlefield game have been revealed. Notably, Vince Zampella, the head of the franchise, has confirmed that this new Battlefield installment will revert back to a modern setting, a choice not seen since 2013’s Battlefield 4. After the release of B4, EA explored different periods in history such as World War I (Battlefield 1), World War II (Battlefield V), and the near future (Battlefield 2042). Now, Zampella mentions that they are aiming to recapture the peak popularity that the franchise enjoyed with Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4.

When talking about the best times in Battlefield history, Zampella mentioned that it was during the Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 era because everything was modern. He believes we need to focus on the essence of what makes Battlefield great and do it exceptionally well. For him, the peak of Battlefield’s glory was during those days. It’s a nostalgic period for players as well as the team members. Although he also mentioned that Battlefield 1942 was also a significant time in its history.

Apart from the description provided, a sneak peek at concept artwork for the upcoming Battlefield game was unveiled today. The artwork doesn’t provide many specifics and hasn’t been officially named as the next installment in the series. However, it noticeably uses the same orange and blue color scheme that was prevalent in Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4. The artwork seems to imply that city destruction might be a significant aspect once more, considering the fire seen engulfing this enigmatic coastal town.

To conclude, Zampella confirmed that the upcoming Battlefield game will accommodate a maximum of 64 players in each match. Despite Battlefield 2042 aiming to host 128 players at once initially, this aspect was met with criticism from many gamers. Nevertheless, knowing that EA is revertng back to 64 players doesn’t come as a shock, but it definitely boosts the anticipation among series veterans for what lies ahead.

At the moment, it’s unclear when the upcoming Battlefield game will be available for purchase. However, Zampella mentioned that there will be some sort of program related to the project in 2025. It remains uncertain if this program will lead to a release next year, but we can expect more information to be revealed in the coming months.
