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

Although the situation might indeed sound worrying, it is worth mentioning that Criterion already has a record of working alongside DICE. Previously, both studios were collaborating during the development of Star Wars: Battlefront and its sequel. In addition, the Need for Speed _ developer singlehandedly tackled the Firestorm battle royale mode for _Battlefield 5 . In other words, there’s nothing exceptional in DICE and Criterion joining forces to wrap up the development of **Battlefield 6 ** , but it can nonetheless cause slight anxiety in the fan commun

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

At the same time, calling the game Battlefield could purely be used to get away from the failures of Battlefield 5 as opposed to giving the series a fresh beginning. Regardless, fans will not have to wait too much longer to find out if these rumors are true, as a reveal is confirmed to be coming in spring. If the leak proves true, though, it is hard to deny that DICE and EA are pulling from one of the biggest video game franchises of all time – and their direct competition. If this truly is the case, hopefully this soft reboot of Battlefield will prove just as successful as Modern Warfare ’s

On the flip side, DICE may stray even further from the tone of the Bad Company games by going hyperrealistic with the next title. With the power of next-gen consoles, the series can look even more stunning in terms of visuals, matching the boosted player count with an absurd level of detail. Pulling from Modern Warfare even further, the next Battlefield game could be grittier and more realistic. Finally including gore in multiplayer, pulling from real world events, and showing the collateral damage that war can cause are all ways that Battlefield can become more focused on realism than it already is. A darker look at warfare that looks at the concept of World War 3 in a more mature way, a serious style could renew interest just like it did for Modern Warfa

Last year, during November’s earnings call, EA’s CEO Andrew Wilson revealed a tiny bit of promising information regarding Battlefield 6 . According to his words, the game was going to be the biggest one to ever release in the franchise, offering a never-before-seen scale. Although Wilson didn’t specifically elaborate on what this meant gameplay-wise, one would imagine that massive battle encounters await players in the anticipated sequel. It was indirectly confirmed by insiders who claimed that Battlefield 6 might feature 128-player batt

A piece of somewhat troubling news regarding Battlefield 2042 specialists|https://battlefield2042play.Com/ 6 ** development has surfaced, as DICE is officially getting help from Need for Speed ** ’s studio Criterion to finish the game. It is quite understandable that EA would want extra help on the development of one of its flagship games. In the past, EA has called the upcoming Battlefield title the biggest game in the history of the franch

Previously, the Call of Duty vs. Battlefield debate used to be a pretty consistent topic among fans, but not so much anymore. If EA makes a big splash with Battlefield 6 's announcement, that argument could hypothetically return in a good way. Not only does EA have to contend with one of the most popular shooters in games, but some of the more unique aspects of Battlefield (bigger lobbies, larger maps, vehicles, etc.) have trickled into Call of Duty in the last year. Battlefield needs to emphasize what makes it different from Call of Duty to have any chance of making a comeback this year, and it certainly can given the pedigree of games like Battlefield

While DICE supposedly has big ideas for Battlefield 6 , not everything needs to be new and ambitious. Battlefield 3 boasted features that worked incredibly well, with the game's take on the "Rush" mode being one of them. Tasking one team with the defense of two M-COM stations, and the other team's goal being destroy the two stations, the mode was simple enough. Attacking players had a limited number of lives or "tickets," and if the team on defense wiped them out, the match would be o
