EA confirms next Battlefield will have a modern setting

As a gamer who’s been through the trenches of virtual wars since the early days of Battlefield 1942, hearing about the return to roots of the next Battlefield installment is like a long-lost comrade returning from the battlefield. The modern setting, the reintroduction of 64-player maps, and the customizable classes are reminiscent of the golden days of Battlefields 3 and 4.


For some time, it’s been common knowledge that EA is developing the upcoming Battlefield title. Today, the company has unveiled initial details about this forthcoming release in the first-person shooter franchise. Of particular interest, the next Battlefield game will be set in a contemporary era, with a focus on returning to fundamental aspects of gameplay.

As an enthusiastic supporter, I’m thrilled to share that Vince Zampella, the head honcho at Respawn Entertainment, has spilled some initial deets about the upcoming Battlefield installment in a heart-to-heart with IGN. In this revealing conversation, he’s given us a nod that the next chapter in the Battlefield saga will be set in a contemporary backdrop and will see a comeback of 64-player maps and customizable classes. This announcement follows the tumultuous response to Battlefield 2042, which has spent an extended period rectifying some of its more contentious choices.

The first piece of concept art for the next Battlefield shows a city blanketed by fire and smoke. Helicopters can be seen in the sky while ships approach the shores. Missile strikes are raining down onto modern buildings.

It appears that the upcoming Battlefield game is not expected soon, but we now have some initial information. As stated by Vince Zampella, the team aims to return to the quality of games like Battlefields 3 and 4 in the new installment.
