EA Confirms Battlefield VI, Holiday 2021 Release
EA late last week confirmed that the studio is working on the next chapter in the "Battlefield" franchise, unsurprisingly titled "Battlefield VI." What remains to be seen is the production design, whether EA DICE sticks to its formula of making the next Battlefield a AAA set-piece and technology demonstrator, much like how BFV was among the first games with real-time raytracing, although the mandate from EA CEO appears to favor a "truly next-gen" approach. Pressure from EA's bean-counters will also ride heavy on DICE to make at least one of the components of the game to be e-sports optimized, and feature a battle royale multiplayer mode. We predict the implementation could be similar to the current Call of Duty, which features a nested "Warzone" mode in addition to a AAA campaign experience. EA DICE is targeting a Holiday 2021 tentative release for "Battlefield VI."

NO TITLE/SETTING has been confirmed, other than there is a game releasing in Holidays 2021.
<insert big roll eyes emoji>
The problem is, a lot of the skilled devs and leadership left DICE through the BFV debacle. I don’t know that there is any chance we will get another quality BF game at this point.
For me to even consider it, there would need to be some sort of extreme change of stance regarding cheating by DICE/EA (unlikely) and moving away from the hyper-emphasis on micro transactions for stupid cosmetics (cold-day-in-hell level of unlikely)...
During EA's virtual E3 thing they showed an thing from the engine that looked like it might be Vietnam setting though.
I am done with the WW1/2 "throw back games" . I stopped buying these games because of this very reason... like oh another version of what happened in WW1/2. no thanks
...just like in V :D
Also, I am really curious when and in what state will World War 3 release. Even the early access was technically ages ahead of Battlefields, but then the development kind of died out and now it's behind closed doors again.
Totally forgot about the WW3 game, whatever happened to it?
I bought BFV for PS4 in my Favorite Game Shop, went home, started the game and searched for HC Mode didnt found it, went back to the Shop and took an other Game :laugh: :kookoo:
There's definitely a lot of development going on, judging by SteamDB activity.
I am absolutely sure WW3 has the potential to be a BF killer, but it's down to the marketing.
