As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must admit that Battlefield 2042 left me quite disheartened. The series has always held a special place in my heart, and it seems the developers have strayed too far from what made it great in their pursuit of innovation.
In simpler terms, Battlefield 2042 made numerous mistakes that can’t all be mentioned here. However, a recurring criticism is that the developers seemed to overlook the elements that made the series exceptional while striving for innovation.
As someone who has been following this franchise for many years, I’ve seen my fair share of ups and downs. The recent rumors about their focus on environmental destruction felt like a desperate attempt to grab headlines, rather than a sustainable strategy for success. However, I can’t ignore the persistent whispers about a possible BR (Brand Refresh).
Despite a decline in the popularity of Battle Royale games, the recent job posting for “open world experience” at Apex seems to support the whispers. If it’s not a Battle Royale, then they might be exploring another type of open-world shooter gameplay. However, since they previously attempted and failed to create an extraction shooter, we can rule that out as the next move.
Next Battlefield Game To Feature Open World Environments
In the recent job posting for a Senior Environment Artist at Electronic Arts, they emphasize that prior experience with open-world environments would be beneficial for the upcoming Battlefield game. Here’s a link to the job ad before it gets removed: [Job Ad Link].
Electric Arts (EA) has not issued any statement regarding this issue as of now, and the job posting that was up on their site on August 13, 2024, is still visible.
It’s true that an open-world setting in a shooter game can come in various shapes, making it challenging to foresee the exact design they aim to create at this stage. However, given the current trends, a Battle Royale (BR) style might be more probable than an extraction shooter. Alternatively, it could be something entirely new, such as an open-world campaign similar to Halo Infinite, though that seems unlikely due to its campaign not being well-received by many.
How do you feel about Battlefield possibly moving towards an open-world format? Are you intrigued by this change, and do you believe that such a shift could potentially revive the series?
