Battlefield has a future at Electronic Arts – despite the flop from the latest spin-off, Battlefield 2042. But EA”s CEO Andrew Wilson apparently has further change in mind for the series.
Mind you: When you”re speaking in front of investors in your company, you better be telling the truth. Because they are ultimately your bosses and can sue you if you knowingly misinform them.
If EA-CEO Andrew Wilson follows this noble, even downright Hanseatic businessman principle, then thanks to (Gamespot) and (Gamesradar) s recent investor report, we know three facts about the next installment of the Battlefield series.
Battlefield”s future

has the ability to bring Battlefield back in a whole new way in the future

What we don”t know about the next Battlefield
Well, almost everything else, actually. Except for the fact that it is coming and will include a single player campaign, we know nothing. Because what Wilson means exactly is virtually open to interpretation, or rather invention.
The CEO promises investors to reveal details at the appropriate time. At the moment he has nothing to announce in terms of dates But the new Battlefield – like all of the publisher”s products – will follow EA”s strategy,
to build games and experiences that attract and entertain massive online communities, across platforms, business models and geographies.
