EA's Next Battlefield Returns to Modern Era, Emphasizes Core Gameplay

The upcoming Battlefield game will revert to 64-player matches and the classic class system, aiming for a 2025 release.

EA's new Battlefield game is set between 2027 and 2030, featuring a modern-day setting reminiscent of Battlefield 3 and 4.
The game will eliminate the controversial 128-player matches and Specialist characters introduced in Battlefield 2042.
Four studios, including DICE and Motive, are collaborating on the project, focusing on both single-player and multiplayer experiences.
A community test program is planned for early 2025, with the game expected to feature 45 weapons and 10 maps at launch.
EA is considering naming the game either 'Battlefield 6' or simply 'Battlefield,' with a formal announcement expected soon.
