While Electronic Arts has been quiet about the future of the Battlefield franchise, it looks like a new title in the multiplayer shooter series is in the works. As caught by Geoff Keighley of The Game Awards, EA CEO Andrew Wilson has revealed that he has been playing the next Battlefield game with the development team.
Alongside revealing that the next Battlefield title is not only well under development, but is in a playable state, Wilson also went on to refer to the game as a “tremendous live service”.
While not much else is currently known about the next Battlefield game, back in April, general manager of Battlefield Byron Beede had revealed that Motive Studios has joined in on working on Battlefield with series developer DICE, as well as Criterion Games and Ripple Effect Studios.
Work on the Battlefield game at Motive Studios is being headed up by Dead Space executive producer Philippe Ducharme, and creative director Roman Campos-Oriola. It is worth noting that, since the team is still quite new, it is unknown to what extent the upcoming Battlefield title will feature things developed by EA Motive.
On the flip side, DICE had announced back in April that Battlefield 2042 will not be getting any more seasonal content, with Season 7: Turning Point being the title’s final season.
