a longer delay than expected for the next episode?

Always knowledgeable when it comes to Battlefield, the insider Tom Henderson thinks he knows that the next episode of the series will be released later than expected. For the record, Andrew Wilson, the boss of Electronic Arts, had indicated that offering an opus every two years made sense, with in particular fresh content deployed on a regular basis between each release. If we therefore follow its logic, the next Battlefield should arrive in 2023. However, given the recent setbacks of Battlefield 2042, Electronic Arts could change its tune and decide to wait an additional year, i.e. 2024. is in any case what internal sources would have entrusted to Tom Henderson. They would even be surprised if the publisher stuck to the initial schedule, even though Activision will not release Call of Duty in 2023.

“We have a long term visionsaid Andrew Wilson about the failure of Battlefield 2042. Battlefield is one of the biggest brands in our industry and was created by one of the most talented teams in the industry. Our ambition is for this franchise to continue to grow and be a major part of our catalog for many years to come. […] The team is rethinking the development process, taking Vince Zampella as a model [qui a été désigné pour superviser la franchise suite au départ d’Oscar Gabrielson, ndlr] and Respawn Entertainment about having fun as quickly as possible.“

We remind you that Battlefield 2042 was released on November 19, 2021 on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PC, PS4 and PS5.
