what's going on with the next Battlefield titlecodenamed Glacierwe need to rewind a bit.In the early 2010s, Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 expanded the franchise audience to more straight compete with Call of Duty, the heavy-hitter at the time. Developed mostly by EA-owned, Sweden-based studio DICE, the Battlefield games blended the franchise's pledge of combined arms warfare and high gamer counts with Call of Duty's faster rate and higher platform accessibility.This was a golden era for Battlefield. 2018's Battlefield V introduced to a mixed reception, and EA began losing players'attention in a broadening industry.Battlefield 3, envisioned here, kicked off the franchise's golden age. Credit: EA Instead, the hot brand-new online shooters were Overwatch(2016 ), Fortnite( 2017), and a resurgent Call of Duty. Fortnite was driven by a popular new gameplay mode called Battle Royale, and while EA tried a Battle Royale mode in Battlefield V, it didn't achieve the wanted level of popularity.After V, DICE dealt with a Battlefield title that was positioned as a throwback to the glory days of 3 and 4. That video game would be called Battlefield 2042( after the future year in which it was set), and it would launch in 2021. The launch of Battlefield 2042 is where Glacier's development story begins. Put simply, the video game was not fun enough, and Battlefield 2042 released as a dud. Do not duplicate past mistakesPlayers were disappointedbut so were those who worked on 2042. Sources tell me that prior to launch, Battlefield 2042 massively missed out on its alpha targeta turning point by which most or all of the foundational features of the game are suggested to be in place. Since of this, the video game's final release would need to be delayed in order to deliver on the designers'intent (and on players 'expectations). Realistically, they need to postpone the video game by a minimum of six months to complete it. Now, they eventually only postponed it by, I think, four or 5 weeks, which from an advancement perspective means very little, stated one person who worked closely with the task at the time.
