Battlefield Head Thinks The Next Entry Can Outsell Call Of Duty

Expert Verified By

Going Back To The Roots On Battlefield 3 Blueprint!

Story Highlight
  • The head of Respawn Entertainment, Vince Zampella, thinks the next Battlefield title will outsell Call of Duty.
  • He claims that it is not a direct goal, but Battlefield definitely can outshine COD.
  • The next game in the series is returning to basics with a modern setting and traditional classes.

Call of Duty shows signs of recovery with its upcoming entry, Black Ops 6, but the same cannot be said for Battlefield. The franchise has been in murky waters ever since its past few releases, with its last game completely failing to meet any expectations. However, franchise head Vince Zampella thinks that Battlefield is set to achieve more than just a turnaround.

Despite poor sales in the last few years, Vance has just made the massive claim that the franchise has a good chance of outselling Call of Duty with its upcoming game.

Why it matters: The remarks made by the Battlefield head show his utmost confidence in the franchise’s upcoming entry. Battlefield outselling a Call of Duty title would also be a massive milestone in the gaming industry.

Battlefield 2042 had an extremely rough start

Speaking to IGN in a recent interview, Vince Zampella argues that it is not their direct goal to outsell Call of Duty. However, that is always something they have been targeting. The next game is the best opportunity to make that possible.

We’re not looking to take down Call of Duty. We’re making something that’s different. But yeah, it definitely has the possibility.

-Vince Zampella

Battlefield
Battlefield 1 was one of the best titles in the series, but it could not outsell the worst-selling COD title.

It is worth noting that one of the lowest-selling Call of Duty titles, Infinite Warfare, outsold Battlefield 1 back in 2016. In other words, it would be a groundbreaking milestone for the next Battlefield game to outsell Call of Duty.

The next Battlefield entry is in total production and confirmed to be set in a modern setting. It is returning to a back-to-basics style seen in BF3 and 4. Additionally, you can expect traditional classes filled with intense 64-player multiplayer matches.
