EA seems to have big plans for the future. In addition to the new Battlefield title, the company recently announced a brand new entry in the College Footbal l franchise, the first game in the series in 7 years. With fan favorite franchises like these on the rise, 2021 is shaping up to be a banner year for

Making a fictional World War work will be no easy task, but Battlefield 6 could be an excellent game if the setting is handled correctly. Opening several opportunities due to its immense scale, the game could provide its players with some unforgettable content and a whole lot of it. At the same time, Battlefield 6 ’s World War 3 will likely follow some frustrating tropes seen with other versions of the third World War, making for a few cons to go with the many pros of this bold sett

From a World War 3 setting to battle royale-sized maps, Battlefield 6 is shaping up to be an exciting return to form for fans of the modern titles. With Battlefield 5 being particularly divisive, the franchise’s return to the 2000s could win a lot of old school players back, kicking off a new era of success for the series. With higher player counts and improved destruction also possible, it is hard to blame gamers for their excitement regarding a potential return to form for the Battlefield ser

After the release of the heavily divisive Battlefield 5 , EA and DICE are relying on Battlefield 6 to reestablish the franchise as one of the best FPS options on the market. Fortunately, this seems to be going in the right, as recent leaks have suggested that Battlefield 6 has a modern setting — something that has been heavily requested by fans over the past few years. However, the leaks do not stop there, as more recent claims have stated that next Battlefield title will be taking on World Wa

Beyond this, Battlefield 2042play official website the game should avoid being Russians vs. everyone else, as that story has been told time and time again in video games. Involving countries like China and North Korea, without getting too political, could help make the narrative stand out. While there is plenty of good to come from a World War 3 setting, and Battlefield ’s gameplay can truly help it excel, DICE should avoid doing taking a by-the-books approach when it comes to the sides of the

The other big theory going around regarding Battlefield 6 is that it will offer even larger multiplayer battles for players to take part in. With the game supposedly having some "crazy ambitious ideas," players have been quick to theorize that this wording is indicative of a larger player experience. While the next Battlefield title is unlikely to reach the absurd 256 player count of the much-forgotten FPS MAG , it is not unreasonable to think that fans can see a doubling of Conquest’s current 64 player count. However, having so many users in one lobby would require even bigger maps, which ties directly into the other common rumor for Battlefield

Even if both the Battlefield and Need for Speed franchises are primed for a comeback during this new console generation, Battlefield already has the advantage. Unlike EA's iconic racing series, Battlefield 's had a minor misstep in an otherwise very successful tenure as EA's flagship first-person shooter. Battlefield 5 is only a relatively recent failure in the wake of successful entries like Battlefield 1 , Battlefield 4 , Battlefield 3 , and even Bad Company 2 . Battlefield 's redemption arc, so to speak, isn't a long time coming. Battlefield 5 was relatively slow on the uptake when it came to balance changes and post-launch content, something the next game presumably won't rep

A World War 3 setting would instantly give DICE the chance to deliver on its ambitious ideas for Battlefield 6 , as the game could feature an array of weapons from around the world. Instantly giving DICE plenty of options for day one guns and post-launch additions, today’s most popular weaponry can be wielded by players. Beyond that, older gear would be viable as well, as a global conflict would involve less militarily advanced countries as well — justifying the use of some more outdated but equally fun to use guns and equipment. Vehicles, a crucial part of every Battlefield experience, would have no limitations either. Tanks, helicopters, and cars from around the world could be added, providing some more variety to the overall experie

DICE LA will be primarily responsible for creating content for the live service portion of Battlefield 6 . With the studio having already helped on previous Battlefield entries and now being helmed by Vince Zampella of Respawn Entertainment fame (the studio behind Titanfall and Apex Legends ), DICE LA is in a great position to help make Battlefield 6 be all it can be and help to relieve some of the pressure on DICE proper to create new cont

Need for Speed 's biennial release schedule has put the franchise into a perpetual state of fatigue that it hasn't managed to escape since 2011. This most recent delay will be the first time in almost a decade where Need for Speed won't follow its typical release schedule of every two years. Of course, this can primarily be attributed to Battlefield 's development necessitating additional support. However, extra time between Need for Speed entries can only benefit the next installment, despite being delayed into 2022. Need for Speed needs time to marinate and adjust the franchise, largely by looking back on past failures and learning from what was lack
