EA has more people working on the new Battlefield game than at any point in the franchise’s history, according to CEO Andrew Wilson. The statement came during the company’s latest quarterly earnings call on Tuesday evening.
“This is the largest Battlefield team in franchise history,” he said. “A few weeks ago, I was visiting with the teams, and I couldn’t be more excited about what they showed and what we were able to play.”
In April, EA announced that Motive — the studio behind Star Wars: Squadrons and the Dead Space Remake — would be moved over to work on the development of Battlefield. The studio is also working on the upcoming Iron Man game.
As far as the new Battlefield game, Wilson is happy with the game’s progress and is confident about its success when players get their hands on it.
“I’ve just spent a whole bunch of time with the collective Battlefield team playing what they’re building and it is going to be another tremendous live service,” he said.
The next game in the Battlefield series is rumored to be revealed at some point in 2024. Recently, EA confirmed that Season 7 of Battlefield 2042 would be the final season of the game.
