Battlefield will take some time to develop and a possible release date is 2024, according to Henderson.
According to what was reported by Tom Henderson – a well-known insider active above all in the Battlefield field – the next chapter of the DICE series could be published in 2024 . The information was reported via WhatIfGaming.
Precisely, we know that last year the CEO of Electronic Arts – Andrew Wilson – said that a Battlefield game every two years is the most correct thing. This means that a new chapter could be released in 2023, as the previous one is from 2021. Henderson, however, says that – although this is the plan – his sources would be very surprised if that happens. In other words, the most credible release date is 2024.
Henderson previously reported on the next title being a hero shooter. Later on, he revealed that a “large portion” of DICE was working on the next game which would have a modern/near-future setting.
As always, remember that we are talking about rumors and not official information. Even assuming that Henderson is correct, it is possible that EA’s plans will change and that the new Battlefield will be brought forward or postponed even more.
Battlefield 2042 underwent troubled development and the end result did not satisfy the players. Even now, the game needs several fixes and the number of active players is very low on average . It doesn’t seem absurd to think that EA and its development teams decide to take a little more time to figure out how to make a new quality game.
