Thread 718318046

>In a new video, industry analyst Michael Patcher claims that the General Manager of the Battlefield franchise, Byron Beede, has told him that EA wants Battlefield to be an annual title:

>According to Patcher, he has spoken to Beede, who said that EA’s goal is to have three studios working on the Battlefield franchise on a three-year cycle, so that they can release annually.
>Unsurprisingly, this is identical to Call of Duty’s annual release model, but Patcher claims that the franchise is still 5-6 years away from back-to-back annual releases.
>Insider Gaming has reached out directly to Byron Beede for comment, but as of yet has not heard a response.

I'm still mad about the "bored UI designer" icons for the classes. How would they even manage releasing every year anyways? Battlefield is a game that lives or dies based on DLC expanding limited launch content.

If you haven't figured out yet that 2042 was modern warfare 2019 reskinned idk what to say. Battlefield is dead

>>718318426
battlefield has been dead as soon as it hit consoles

Are we unironically posting Pachter?

so much for the love letter huh?

Ex-DICE employee laid it all out 6 months ago. He explicitly mentioned Battlefield being a yearly release game after Battlefield 6.

>The goal is a new BF game every year. I think EA has a roadmap to achieve this, but we wont see the next game in 2026. If Beede sticks to his vision we'll get:

>1. A full priced main game with limited single player
>2. Seasons, Battlepass and live service slop
>2. A free to play mode like Warzone
