Her latest work includes the narrative direction for Battlefield 6 as part of DICE. In particular, the developer has contributed to the game’s evolving live-service narrative across the many seasons that have been released so far.

The developer now has big shoes to fill, but because Emily Grace Buck is far from inexperienced in this department, the series seems to be in good hands.
