DICE wants to spend all its time on Battlefield and not on new projects – Gaming – News

Gamemaker DICE will continue to focus on the Battlefield series and specifically Battlefield 2042 in the coming years. The new boss of the studio says that there is no time for new projects, such as a new Mirror’s Edge game.

That’s what Rebecka Coutaz says in an interview with Gamesindustry.biz† Coutaz has been at the helm of DICE for six months, which released Battlefield 2042 in November. That game will be the focus for at least the next three years, she says. “We’re just focusing on Battlefield 2042. There’s no time for anything else and this is what we want to do,” she replies when asked if any new projects are coming, such as a new Mirror’s Edge game. “Within three years, we want the first-person shooterpowerhouse who DICE should be.” Coutaz hopes that DICE will become a frontrunner in first-person shooters in Europe and worldwide.

Coutaz admits in the interview that Battlefield 2042 was not good. “The game’s release was not as expected,” she says. “Our players and community were disappointed, but so was our developer team.” Since then, the studio has focused on bug fixes and new features, and according to the company has made enough improvements to the game to start working on DLCs and season expansions.
