We all know the song... Battlefield 2042 will undoubtedly have been a semi-failure for Electronic Arts. However, the American publisher will not give up its favorite license and a new opus is probably already in the pipeline.
Since its controversial launch, Battlefield 2042 has failed to recover. It must be said that new content is struggling to arrive and that bugs have long deteriorated the gaming experience. So much so that at present, DICE's FPS is struggling to reach 2000 simultaneous players on Steam. During a conference dedicated to the announcement of the company's financial results, the boss of EA spoke about it.
The war is not lost yet!
During this interview, Andrew Wilson reiterated his confidence in the saga. He explains that he adopts “a long-term vision” for the series which will therefore not stop with Battlefield 2042. Better still, according to insider Tom Henderson, a new opus has been in development “for some time”. And if Wilson had initially expressed his desire to launch this new episode from 2023, this information would no longer be really relevant.
Because according to sources contacted by Henderson, the next Battlefield will probably not be released before 2024. A decision that seems quite logical since the organization chart of DICE has been heavily turned upside down after the launch of Battlefield 2042.
