And i quote "Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson in an earnings call with investors revealed he has played the next Battlefield game and says "it is going to be another tremendous live service" game""This is the largest Battlefield team in franchise history," said Wilson. "A few weeks ago, I was visiting with the teams, and I couldn’t be more excited about what they showed and what we were able to play."The developers are working together "across connected multiplayer experiences and single-player."Bros already played the next BF game assuming just the BETA but if they are ahead of schedule i dont know if i should laugh or cry...maybe we might get a release in 2024 we can only dream right.

@ATFGunrI enjoyed the Premium Pass way better than what we have currently.The guarantee of 4 new maps / weapons etc every 3 months really kept the games fresh, I would go back to premium in a heartbeat.

tremendous live service" game"Not surprised but not happy either. Basically they will release an unfinished game hoping to patch it together "live", like that has ever worked well.

@Hudson1531Live service is awful, I’m a big fan of the DLC model where I get what I pay for and know what I’m getting. If he did play some, I’m sure it’s an early model and it’s no where near ready for release. Why am I sure? Because I played the beta for 2042 and played since release and it wasn’t ready either. It’s still not ready, it’s still massively broken in terms of connection and consistency. Like others said, I won’t be preordering either.

Funny how at least some people still seem to have trouble decoding corporate talk during those investors calls.In the secret manual for those occasions you can read:"what they showed and what we were able to play." use this to describe that you have seen a screen cap of the only alpha version stable enough to not crash after 2 seconds as well as some slides of early design concepts."Tremendous live service" use this phrase if you think you can get away selling the game with less content than the previous one by promising new content after launch, then being legally able to drip-feed the players some content (preferably telling them that reworking content available to them at launch counts as 'new content) while at the same time being able to stop said 'live service' at any point if you consider that a good idea.I must confess that I am not so sure if EA is at the moment still under the impression that they would be able to get for the next installment at least half the pre-order sales they had for BF2042.My assumption (sincere hope) is that the majority of the player base has learnt their lesson (and will be reminded again before the next one comes out by the content creators/BF influencers in case some have forgotten by then) and will not be swayed by the statements like these we had by Mr. Wilson now.

I'm glad he has played the new game, here's to hoping he likes playing it alone!

@Hudson1531 I wish they would stop talking nonsense, take 2 minutes to browse these forums and social media, and read the comments. They would understand what people want.

Oct or Nov 2025. Calling it right now. New GTA and BF next year is my guess

My only solace about the next game is that it is not coming out on fall 2024 but on fall 2025. They actually have a chance to at least release the game in a working state for the first time since BF1.

@GrizzGolf agreed 200%

One of the BF YouTubers dug a bit further into his jibber jabber, and put it about Oct/Nov 2025 for release

I enjoyed the Premium Pass way better than what we have currently.

The guarantee of 4 new maps / weapons etc every 3 months really kept the games fresh, I would go back to premium in a heartbeat.

I am sad they don't do that model anymore. I really liked paying and getting my money's worth.

Maybe a middle ground: they could charge a bit more for the next game and ship it with 12 maps with a promise of at least 4 seasons and 4maps/season.
This way the play base wouldn't be segregated and we would have content.
