Last month, EA announced that Motive, the studio behind the Dead Space remake and Star Wars: Squadron, would join DICE, Criterion, and Ripple Effect to create \u201ca Battlefield universe across connected multiplayer experiences and single-player.\u201d\u00a0 On May 7\u2019s earnings call (as documented by VGC), Wilson said he recently had the opportunity to check out a working build of the next Battlefield game. \u201cA few weeks ago, I was visiting with the teams and I couldn't be more excited about what they showed and what we were able to play,\u201d Wilson said in the conference Q&A. Later in the call, he mentioned, \u201cI\u2019ve just spent a whole bunch of time with the collective Battlefield team playing what they\u2019re building and it is going to be another tremendous live service.\u201d As for Battlefield 2042, EA recently announced season seven, titled Turning Point, would be the last one in its lifecycle. Wilson shared the company\u2019s perspective, referring to the lessons learned in the previous game: \u201cWith each immersive, action-packed season of Battlefield 2042, players have made it clear that they wanted an even deeper experience. Our teams have listened to the community, have learned valuable lessons, and are driving to the future.\u201d From its turbulent launch in 2021, Battlefield 2042 recovered momentum through periodic content additions throughout its lifecycle. Although no new seasons are coming, the devs promised to \u201ccontinue to support the game with new in-game challenges, events, modes, and of course, ongoing maintenance.\u201d All that said, there are still reasons to be concerned about the next Battlefield game. In March this year, we saw EA shelving Ridgeline Games, which was developing the single-player portion of the upcoming game. Ridgeline\u2019s head Marcus Lehto didn\u2019t have \u201canything positive to say about EA.\u201d","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/battlefield-2042.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1222381"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2588"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1222381"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1222381\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1222396,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1222381\/revisions\/1222396"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1222384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1222381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1222381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1222381"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1222381"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1222381"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1222381"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1222381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
