Following the failure of Battlefield 2042, EA is changing its approach. CEO Andrew Wilson says Battlefield 6 is not just a product, it’s a long-term platform.
Wilson said during the company’s latest earnings call;
“We’ve been investing more behind this Battlefield than any Battlefield product before it, this isn’t just a product. We’re building out Battlefield as a platform.”
He added that four studios, DICE, Criterion, Motive, and Ripple Effect, have spent the last four years working on the game. These teams now operate together under the Battlefield Studios label.
Battlefield 6 multiplayer reveal set for today
EA will show Battlefield 6’s multiplayer mode today. Wilson said this will be “the first time people see the true scale” of what the studios have built, with hints at post-launch content also expected.
Confirmed and rumoured features so far:
- Multiplayer and single-player
- Return of Portal mode (rumoured)
- A battle royale mode post-launch (rumoured)
- An open beta before launch
- October 10 release date (rumoured)
- Preorders expected to start July 31
- No $80 (about £62) price tag for the standard edition
EA is “all-in” on Battlefield 6, aiming to rebuild the franchise with long-term plans. More details will drop today during the multiplayer reveal.
