EA’s signature battlefield FPS “Battlefield 2042” (Battlefield 2042) was brought back to life in October last year. However, from the daily peak of 100,000 in November Season 6, it has dropped back to around 25,000. DICE studio, which leads the development of the series, , the technical director recently showed off new clothes with logos, leading players to speculate that EA has started developing the next “Battlefield”.
EA Digital Illusions CE AB (DICE) technical director Darko Šupe posted a new T-shirt yesterday (3rd), with the headline “BATTLEFIELD” printed on one side, and “WE ARE” scattered on the left. The person wearing this outfit is revealed to be part of the Battlefield development team.

On the other side are the logos and names of the five EA studios. The logos from left to right are:
In April 2023, EA was reorganized and spun offMinistry of Central and Technical Development(Central Technology)/The developer of “Fast Speed” who joined EA in September of the same year Criterion Games／DICE／Seattle studio established in September 2022 Ridgeline Games／Formerly known as DICE Los Angeles Ripple Effect Studios。
Because DICE only announced the logo change for the Frosbite Engine in mid-December last year, and at the end of the month, Tom Henderson, a well-known whistleblower, asked about “Battlefield” on XNew work development code namemany fans believe that Darko Šupe’s post hints that the new “Battlefield” is on the way.

In fact, if you compare the printed logo of this dress, you will find that the breakpoints of the English capital font are similar to the position of the special effects letters of “Battlefield 2042”. If this is the logo of a new game, the game background may be the same as that of “Battlefield 2042” Set in modern warfare.
But it seems that EA has not given up on “Battlefield 2042” yet. CEO Andrew Wilson was asked about the operating status of the “Battlefield” IP at the financial report meeting in May 2023.He stated that the seriesIt will not only focus on making games, but the goal is to become “a large platform that drives real-time online services for decades to come.”
November second quarter earningsEA also attributed the company’s profit growth of 33.4% year-on-year to online services (Live services), which contributed 73% of profits to all businesses.
In view of the fact that the update of the season and pass mode of “Battlefield 2042” has been effective for a time, the new game in this series does not rule out the possibility of following the “content inheritance” function of its old rival “Decisive Hour” and launching a new version of the story and mode under the same title.
