From a speculation standpoint, it's hard to truly read between the lines here. It's clear all of this prototype gameplay was shown at EA Play Live in service to getting fans excited by the potential technology that could go into the next Battlefield game, but there wasn't too much shown. Considering EA Play Live premiered in June, and a new Battlefield game is planned for 2021, this footage was likely captured very early on in the game's developm

Of course, this brings into question what time period Battlefield 6 could take place in. It's very possible the series could return to contemporary warfare, similar to many entries before. Or the franchise could pull another Battlefield 1 and pick a time of war that games have rarely portrayed. There's a few options for Battlefield 6 in terms of a time period or setting, ranging from the most likely to most improba

If EA manages to impress gamers with the upcoming Battlefield game, and Call of Duty manages to keep its success with Black Ops Cold War , the debate of which FPS game to play could come back to light. Call of Duty will be challenged to keep coming up with more great ideas to keep their fans hooked. Firstly, though, Black Ops Cold War will release first sometime in November. _Battlefield 6 _ doesn't have an exact release date yet, and won't be coming out until sometime next year, so they have some time to plan and adjust if need

During EA Play's 2020 Live showcase, there was an interesting tidbit shared at the end of the show from chief studios officer Laura Miele. Towards the end of the showcase, EA showed off some very early next-gen development footage from EA's first-party development studios like BioWare, Criterion, and DICE. "Our studios are taking their crazy, ambitious ideas and making them real," stated Miele. "Every console generation DICE sets please click the following webpage bar for excellence in audio and visual presentation. We are creating epic battles at a scale and fidelity unlike anything you've experienced before." This is almost certainly in reference to Battlefield 6 , or whatever Battlefield title is currently in the works for 2

The current game in the series, Battlefield 5 , was marred with issues from the day it was released. The game not only felt incomplete, with its miniscule map roster and plethora of bugs, but future updates were incredibly inconsistent and many promised features never saw the light of day, such as the 5v5 competitive mode . Even its attempt at a battle royale mode, called Firestorm in Battlefield 5 , wasn’t safe from its own set of issues. Battlefield 5’s life cycle was so turbulent that its final content patch was released last summer , more than a year before the next game in the series is expected to rele

When EA Play took place earlier this year, EA hinted at their new **Battlefield ** game, which will be released sometime next year. Battlefield V was released back in 2018, and definitely did not live up to the hype and expectations that Battlefield 1 brought to fans of the series. The Battlefield series has had huge hits, such as Battlefield 3 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 , as well as disappointing lows such as Battlefield V and Battlefield: Hardline . On the other hand, the Call of Duty series has kept their fans happy with their recent games, especially with the massive success of Call of Duty Modern Warfare . Its exceptional battle royale mode, Warzone , has also been a huge attraction for Call of Duty play

Call of Duty will have much more momentum than Battlefield does going into 2021, mostly thanks to Warzone 's surprising success (and Firestorm 's failure). Call of Duty is at a peak of players and and success, but Black Ops Cold War will have to top the previous game if Activision wants to stay on top. Trailers and closed betas are making players excited for Black Ops Cold War , and EA has yet to do anything to revive the hype for a new Battlefield game. Will EA be able to bring back the age-old debate of Call of Duty vs Battlefie

That’s where Twitter user and frequent source of gaming leaks Tom Henderson comes in. This morning, Henderson offered tidbits of what DICE has in store for Battlefield 6 and the scale of its gameplay. Starting off, he claimed that while the core multiplayer is being designed around the classic 32-vs-32 player setup, the game will be able to support a lot more than that, with maps that "have been designed with 128+ players in mi

Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 were both based on modern combat , and saw the greatest commercial success prior to the best-selling Battlefield 1 . Plus, modern military has actually advanced incredibly since 2014 with higher usage of drones and autonomous ordnance, so there's plenty of new material for Battlefield 6 to expl

That being said, taking that prototype gameplay at face value, it's clear that EA is inferring these new improvements in player density/fidelity and destruction refinements will be Battlefield 's key factors of success for next-gen . That's certainly not a bad thing, as having large-scale battlefields that evoke a simulation of war is exactly what Battlefield has done best in the past. The only major problem is that Battlefield 6 will need to make sure that these new additions are not just window dressing. These systemic improvements/refinements have to be done with purpose, not just for the sake of being technically impressive without any semblance of gameplay importa
