98% Of Devs Making Next Battlefield Did Not Work On Previous Games, It’s Claimed

Expert Verified By

New Report Raises Major Red Flags For Battlefield!

Story Highlight
  • A former Battlefield developer claims that 98% of the team creating the next game has not worked on past releases.
  • EA has seemingly made a series of major internal changes after having a series of flops. 
  • The old DICE leadership has already quit, and EA has hired COD’s GM to rebuild the franchise.

The next Battlefield is being developed by four different studios—including DICE, Criterion, Ripple Effect, and Motive—to follow Call of Duty’s formula. The game is expected to feature a modern-day setting with classic game modes and return-to-roots gameplay.

Some scoops also suggest 64-player maps and ultra-realistic destruction will return in addition to a free-to-play battle royale mode. However, the unnamed Battlefield title might be in more trouble than EA has let on.

An alleged former Battlefield developer claims that 98% of the team developing the title has not worked on the series’ former releases.

Why it matters: The franchise has already strayed too far from its roots with the latest entry, so a lack of veteran developers may lead to the same problem showing up again.

The former Battlefield developer claims around 98% of team creating the next game has not worked on any series' past releases.
Ex-Battlefield developer shares more information about EA

Rizible on Bluesky clarifies that EA has made massive internal changes after a series of flops in recent years, so the old DICE leadership has also left for other ventures. The changes have poached half of the studio’s talent, with EA hiring COD’s GM to rebuild the franchise.

Veteran DICE developers have recently worked on a game like The Finals, which showcased remnants of Battlfield’s classic destruction physics. As such, the former developer has warned players to temper expectations regarding the upcoming Battlefield entry since a fresh team is working on it with a new philosophy.

This could make the next title very different from the IP’s past entries. Battlefield 2025 is expected to launch in October of this year, with previous rumors also pointing towards a similar release window.

WW1 In Battlefield 1
After Battlefield 2042 flopped, players turned back to Battlefield 1 for an all-out warfare experience.

Take these scoops with a pinch of salt, as EA or other sources have yet to comment on the matter. However, we may learn more about the next Battlefield in the coming months.

Do you think the upcoming entry will surpass fans’ broken expectations, or are we looking at another flop? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the official Tech4Gamers forum.
