The Next Battlefield Game Return to Modern Warfare in 2025

TapTechNews September 17th news, Vince Zampella, the co-founder of Respawn and IW Studios and the general manager of the EA Studios organization group, gave an exclusive interview to IGN today, and he is currently officially in charge of the supervision work of the Battlefield series.

He said that the next Battlefield game is confirmed to be launched in 2025, will adopt a'modern warfare background', have a classic 64-player large map, cancel the experts and restore the class system.

He said that the next Battlefield game will return to the modern warfare background and refocus on the core gameplay and experience of the series. This may be a return to the classics or a new attempt for the future development of the series.

Zampella said: I mean, if you look back at the peak period of the Battlefield series, that's the Battlefield 3... Battlefield 4 era, everything is very modern. I think we have to return to the core of the Battlefield game and make it as perfect as possible, and then we'll see how it develops next. But I think for me, that peak period of the Battlefield series is the Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 era. So, I think this is nostalgic for the players, for me, and even for the team. Those were the golden ages... although I have to say 1942 is also.

It seems that he deliberately emphasized that Battlefield 2042 is not a 'failed game', just not meeting expectations. He pointed out that the development team spent a lot of time learning how to adapt to it and get things back to normal. Nevertheless, he said that EA does not want to repeat the mistakes of 2042, We hope it does well from the very beginning.
