DICE LA will be primarily responsible for creating content for the live service portion of Battlefield 6 . With the studio having already helped on previous Battlefield entries and now being helmed by Vince Zampella of Respawn Entertainment fame (the studio behind Titanfall and Apex Legends ), DICE LA is in a great position to help make Battlefield 6 be all it can be and help to relieve some of the pressure on DICE proper to create new cont
Following the bumpy release of Battlefield V , EA has been letting DICE really take its time with their new shooter. The last entry was rushed out the door and seemed to be capitalizing on the WWII zeitgeist that Call of Duty briefly created in 2017. As a result, it was buggy, underwhelming, and featured a lackluster post-launch battle royale mode that was also trying to follow trends. Despite selling over 7 million copies in 2018, it was deemed a commercial disappointment for EA. Needless to say, EA doesn't want a repeat and are going all-in on Battlefield
It feels like EA is taking extra steps to ensure that Battlefield 6 will be a great title, and according to industry insiders, fans would indeed be pleased with what they see once the game releases this year. A few months ago, a well-known insider Tom Henderson reported that from his knowledge, the next Battlefield would be exactly the game that all the fans of the franchise want to receive. This claim was based on highly positive feedback from internal testing of the ti
EA has confirmed that Battlefield _ **_6 ** will be getting an alpha sometime this year, and that it'll be coming sooner than previous titles. EA made the announcement via a blog post that outlined the status of the highly anticipated shooter, noting that it's shaping up to be something truly incredi
Battlefield 6 has already been confirmed for a spring reveal and a holiday 2021 release, so it's entirely possible that the alpha will come shortly after the reveal. When Battlefield: Hardline had its E3 showing, EA put up a beta on PS4 and PC to give players instant access to the game. It's entirely possible EA may pull a similar move for Battlefield 6 _ and debut the alpha following the game's initial reveal. If the studio is aiming to have the "earliest alpha" for the series, it would have to come before June as that's when _Hardline had its first playable build to f
EA Chief Studios Officer Laura Miele wrote in a blog post today (via ComicBook.com ), detailing the fact that Criterion would be delaying its new Need for Speed title in order to help give Battlefield 6 the support it needs. Miele also noted that the game will be getting an alpha, seemingly very soon. "The project is tracking towards the franchise’s earliest Alpha, the gameplay is at an unprecedented scale, and we are taking full advantage of the technology in the next-gen consoles," Miele said. "The team has done an incredible job despite the challenges of working from home. We want to build on our position of strength, focus on the opportunity in front of us, and set our game makers up for success to deliver the best experience possible to our players this fa
EA's been in a strange place the last few years, with its premier non-sports titles ending up on the backfoot compared to similar titles. Battlefield 5 's disappointment made way for games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare , and now Black Ops Cold War , at the mainstream first-person shooters. Need for Speed has been supplanted by simulatory and arcade-like experiences such as Forza Horizon or Dirt 5 . Ironically enough, EA even acquired Codemasters to expand its racing catalogue beyond just Need for Speed . Yet, while Codemasters will continue with its own independent racing projects, Need for Speed 's developer will assist in Battlefield development this y
The exec went on to note that a rough cut of the Battlefield 6 trailer has already been finished and seen internally. At this rate, it's entirely possible the game could be revealed as soon as April. "We have an exceptional year ahead with our next Battlefield, so we thank everyone for coming together with the energy and determination to do something special," Miele went on to say. "We’ve recently seen the first version of the reveal trailer for Battlefield and it’s shaping up to be a truly amazing first look at this groundbreaking game. I think fans are going to love
**Battlefield 6 ** has huge potential, and having two studios like Criterion and DICE LA lend support puts EA's shooter franchise in a great position to finally outdo its longtime rival. Whether or not that comes to pass remains to be seen, but it seems clear EA is finally dedicated to putting forward the necessary resources to make it a real possibil
Battlefield , traditionally, has been a largely DICE-developed affair. While that has resulted in some stellar shooters over the years, in today's gaming environment dominated by regular new content drops in games like Call of Duty or even Fortnite , DICE simply can't keep up. That fact was made clear with Battlefield 2042 Ranking|Https://Battlefield2042Play.Com/ 5 . Though developed as a live-service game in mind, Battlefield 5 saw frequent content droughts and feature delays, sometimes for months at a time. Battlefield games are notorious for releasing in a buggy state, and having to fix bugs and other various launch issues distracts from creating and implementing new game cont
