And some more info from EA
EA: "We've been playing the (next #Battlefield) game nearly daily for well over a year."
The #Battlefield teams have prioritized what they call their "green initiative" which means they're focused on software stability and the game is ALWAYS playable for playtesting.
They're already testing with players and they plan to introduce a new LARGE SCALE, community driven testing "early next year" 👀
This will give the teams more feedback on "gameplay, performance and fun factor."
I'm glad DICE is play testing with actual players. I remember the general manager of 2042 saying they play tested with bots, which is a bad idea.
I'm pleasantly surprised that specialists won't be in Battlefield 7. I thought for sure EA would shoehorn them in to sell microtransaction cosmetics.
I'm looking forward to the return of ship to ship combat and dense well designed map! The maps make or break a game. Only releasing one new map every 3 months causes the game to become stale real quick. We need 3 or 4 new maps every season.
Now that's nice news.

@OskooI_007 I think so far the actual players are EA Dice employees, otherwise we would've heard from people involved by now. Let's hope the early playtest will be a real CTE where anybody gets a chance to participate, and let's hope this time they listen to player feedback. The image of the EA earnings call at least suggests this: Prototype -> Playtest -> Feedback
But let's also hope they already incorporated the community feedback from BF2042. They partially did by the confirmation of No specialists, class system, 64 players and a scoreboard. But there's more I'd like to see confirmed:
Interesting find. The concept art is suggested to be Gibraltar. Which is confirmed by Battlefield leaker Tom Henderson.
Tom also responds in the same X thread to the question about the era in which the game is set that it will be 2027.
