If you think that DICE is beyond caring about the Bad Company franchise, then think again. According to creative director Lars Gustavsson at a recent DICE event, the Bad Company team are only taking a long vacation and will be looking to return to the franchise once other titles have been wrapped up.
“My feeling is that I would love to do it. For me, when we started the company with 1942, it was really a work of passion. And then we worked our way through the era of different wars, and I loved them all, like my little babies. When it came to Bad Company, it was creative freedom; don’t take yourself too seriously.
“But trust me, the Bad Company [team] isn’t forgotten, they are just on a very long vacation. So they are out there, they’re coming back.”
Currently, DICE is busy with Battlefield 4, Mirror’s Edge and Star Wars: Battlefront, with the latter two slated to release on next gen consoles sometime in the next two years. Meanwhile, Battlefield 4 launches on October 29th in North America for current-gen, with next gen releases on Xbox One and PS4 due in November.
