There has been new info for the last-gen versions of the new Battlefield in development:

The rumor is interesting, but I personally don't believe it. EA won't ignore their largest customer base on last gen consoles.
It seems more likely EA will lower the frame rate and player count on last gen consoles.
I speculate DICE LA is creating a separate free-to-play Battle Royale build which will have dumbed down graphics and lower system requirements compared to the $60 base game DICE Stockholm is creating.
At least that's what I would do. Lower the free-to-play Battle Royale system requirements so 100+ player matches are possible on last-gen consoles and low spec PCs.
Meanwhile, the $60 base game can have higher system requirements and smaller game modes for last-gen consoles.

I'm pretty sure EA will build a version for last gen so they don't lose out on players, but I see it being heavily stripped down because the last gen consoles are nothing close to the latest in terms of spec, and if DICE are utilizing all that hardware then it's gonna be too much for last gen.
If they did have to heavily strip the game down then they would have to ask themselves, is it actually worth releasing a last gen? Because they could potentially be missing out on a lot, not to mention how would the game play out if last and next gen are playing together. Something to think about for sure.- CarbonCarl5 years agoHero (Retired)
Some added news.
- @DingoKillr Mentioned BF2: Surge map in regards to the map that's being rumoured which was a solid call, but it seems now it could actually be in japan as the rocket is supposedly Japanese. Maybe inspired by the surge map.
- The upcoming reveal trailer is supposed to take place at Tanegashima Space Center which would also solidify the above map location.
- There seems to be rumour of a map in the Alps where a large avalanche can take place caused by an explosion.
- Apache helicopter seems to be present and of course fighter jets.
Nothing really to add to the list but small bits of info keeps us all going.
